Sameer Thahir

Sameer C. Thahir ISC (born 7 November 1976) is an Indian cinematographer, screenwriter, and film director and producer who works mainly in the Malayalam cinema while also having worked in a few Tamil films. He is a graduate of Maharajas College, Ernakulam, and it is there that he began nurturing his passion for photography and cinema. From photography to wedding videos to ad films and then on to features, it was a gradual but steady climb. He began his career assisting his mentors, fellow ISC members Amal Neerad and Rajeev Ravi. In 2007 he shot his first feature as an independent Cinematographer when Amal Neerad turned to direct his debut film Big B. The unique approach to the visual vista and the massive success of the film (both critically and commercially) cemented Sameer's place as a rising star of Malayalam Cinema. By next year he helmed Aashiq Abu's superhit film Daddy Cool (2009)....
