Ace cinematographer KK Senthil Kumar might have his name on one of the country's most talked about productions, Baahubali; but the lensman is celebrating a completely different experience right now. Having got the opportunity to work with Shah Rukh Khan, Senthil cannot stop smiling ear-to-ear as he talks about the surprise project.

Senthil, who has just wrapped up a shoot for a song with SRK, shares, "Rohit Shetty called me and asked me if I would be able to work on a song which they are shooting in Hyderabad. I had time on my hand and I immediately jumped on board."
This is the first time the cinematographer has worked on a Hindi film. An elated Senthil enthuses, "I am told that the decision to rope me in was a unanimous one on the sets!"
Senthil calls his first time experience working with a Bollywood crew a memory to cherish. "It was an exciting number choreographed by Farah Khan and I especially loved working with her," he says, adding, "The atmosphere on the sets was very relaxed. And it was so much fun working with the team even though it was for a short span. Everything was planned and Farah Khan knew exactly what she wanted. As for SRK, he was so chilled out on the sets," he tells us. The cinematographer is open to more opportunities in Bollywood, but right now the sequel of Baahubali has his attention. "Camera work is a visual medium where knowledge of languages doesn't matter. So, if I get an offer in Hindi which is interesting, then why not? Having said that, Baahubali is keeping me busy right now. I want to concentrate completely on this project," he says.
In the end, he says, it was his work in Baahubali " The Beginning that brought him the recognition and even this opportunity with Dilwale. "They liked the work I did in the film and felt I would do justice to the song," says Senthil.
