Career

edit

Vidhu's collaboration with Madonne Ashwin began with the film Mandela. Vidhu drew inspiration from various sources, including the French painting Liberty Leading the People for Maaveeran's climax, aiming to project a revolution.[1] For Mandela, the African beats in Bharath Sankar's music inspired Vidhu to use warm, earthy tones and darker skin tones, drawing from African aesthetics.[1]

Vidhu is currently working on Bhanu Bhogavarapu's directorial debut, tentatively titled as RT 75.[2]
