We all know the first look picture of Rashmika from the film "Pushpa" that was widely circulated. She squats beside a mirror with some flowers in front of her.
The lighting pattern is so unique that it was never seen in mainstream Telugu film stills at all.
But inside sources of Pushpa unit say that Sukumar has taken the inspiration from Late S Elayaraja's famous paintings.
Well, one shouldn't be confused with the name of music legend Ilarayaja.
He was such a legendary painter that whatever he painted it looked like a photograph.
He was so sharp and meticulous in drawing pictures on canvas and gained many fans worldwide. His specialization in drawing the lighting patterns was quite amazing.
Sukumar has taken inspiration from one of Late Elayaraja's pictures with regard to the lighting pattern. The rustic village look is aptly brought with this effect on Rashmika's photoshoot.
Painter Elayaraja breathed his last due to Covid-19 infection at the age of 43 last year.
