Born into a Telugu family in Madras,[4][1] Sreekar is a graduate in literature from the University of Madras.[2] He made his debut as a co-editor with the film Swati in 1986 and as an independent editor in the Hindi film, Raakh (1989).[2] He won the National Award for Best Editing with his debut film Raakh in 1989.[2] Over a career spanning more than 35 years, Sreekar has edited over 600 films.[5] He holds a record with nine National Film Awards, seven of which are for Best Editing, making him the most awarded editor in this category.[6]

He was also honored with the first-ever Special Jury Award for editing, recognizing his exceptional contributions to the field.[2] Sreekar's contributions to Indian cinema were acknowledged in the Limca Book of Records 'People of the Year - 2013' list.[7] He also holds a record for editing films in the most languages, with works spanning 17 different languages to date.[7] Alaipayuthey marked Sreekar’s first collaboration with Mani Ratnam on a non-linear narrative.[8] To simplify the narrative, they used slo-mo effects and color changes to differentiate episodes. Their team created 17-18 different versions of the film.[8]
