Madhie is an Indian cinematographer born in 1971 at Thirutharaipoondi.

Initially, he started his career as an associate cinematographer to Mr. S. Saravanan, a notable cinematographer, and worked in around 7 films along with him. In 2002, he was introduced as an individual cinematographer through the movie Punnagai Desam. But the turning point of his career was in 2006, when his movie Veyil, directed by Mr. Vasanthabalan and produced by Mr. Shankar, released and was highly praised for its cinematography. Following consecutive successes and box office hits in Kollywood, he set foot in the Bollywood and the Tollywood industry and remained successful in continuing his victory stride. He received an opportunity to work in one of India’s highest budgeted films Saaho which released multilingually in 2019.
