Jeeva's third Tamil film Unnale Unnale was his greatest hit, and once again he believed in a newcomer Vinay and it paid off. As a cinematographer his work in capturing Melbourne so beautifully is only comparable with his own 'telephone manipol' song in Indian.

Dhaam Dhoom, unfortunately the last film of Jeeva was being shot in Russia where he had breathed his last. His death has left a huge void in the industry which has lost a talented and a creative technician par excellence. Fate has been cruel to have snatched away Jeeva from all of us. Our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and pray the Almighty to render ample courage and strength to his wife and children. May his soul rest in peace.
