Sabu Cyril
Cyril, one of the best respected art directors in India, also works exhaustively in cinema down south.
Starting his career with 1991's Uncle Bun, Cyril's first Hindi film was Gardish but he truly began to make waves only after blowing us away with Kala Pani and Virasat.
Then came Kamal Haasan's Hey Ram, Priyadarshan's Hera Pheri and Santosh Sivan's Asoka -- a range of films that shows Cyril's only too happy to experiment, to mix it up.
Even now, he balances a Yuva with a Jaan-E-Mann, and a Guru with an Om Shanti Om.
