In the film industry, cinematographer Shivaz Abdulla, also known as Maaskey, is widely recognized for his unwavering dedication and exceptional visual creativity. While I have not personally observed his work on set, individuals who have collaborated with him, both as part of the cast and crew, consistently highlight his relentless pursuit of perfection in every single frame.

Maaskey’s commitment to his craft is evident in his ability to make each shot visually striking and breathtaking. His work as a cinematographer is not just about capturing images but about telling a story through the lens, where every detail matters, and every frame speaks volumes.

Having worked on three of my written projects—Dhilakani (2013), Ahsham (2015), and Zoya (2023)—I can attest to Maaskey’s exceptional skill in bringing a screenplay to life. His dedication has earned him two nominations at the National Film Awards, and he won the award for Best Cinematography for Ahsham at the 8th National Film Awards. His ability to enhance the narrative with his visual storytelling is nothing short of remarkable.

In Kamanaa, Maaskey has once again showcased his exceptional skills. The scenes I crafted have been elevated into visually captivating moments, each more breathtaking than the last. His talent lies in infusing every frame with emotion and beauty, thus ensuring the film is a visual feast for the audience.

Prepare to be mesmerized by the stunning cinematography of Shivaz “Maaskey” Abdulla when Kamanaa hits theaters on 27 August 2024. This is a film where every frame is a work of art, thanks to the dedication and skill of one of the finest cinematographers in the industry.
