Watch Out For Him !!!!


Can anybody forget the small kids voice which says Chikubuku Chikubuku Railey in Shankar’s first film Gentleman. He is G.V. Prakash, nephew of our music genius A.R. Rahman. That small kid now is all grown up and turned into a music director. His introduction as a film composer was again under Shankar through the critically acclaimed Tamil film Veyil (Vesavi in Telugu) directed by Vasanthabalan. This film had been adjudged as the best film for the Filmfare Award.

His other releases so far are Oram Po, Evano Oruvan and Kireedom, all in Tamil. All these films are musical hits so far and his music has been receiving rave reviews and is acclaimed by all. He is currently working on two films in Telugu which are Adhi Oka Idhi Ley (Leelai in Tamil) and Ullasanga Uthsahanga for Karunakaran.

Even though I do not understand Tamil, songs were rocking and made me hear again and again. He is a grade 8 gold medalist in solo piano from Trinity College, London. Though he is only 19, he had already worked with the big names in the industry like A.R.Rahman, Harris Jayaraj, Bharadwaj, Vidyasagar, and Anu Malik. It is also rumored that Anu Malik's only musical hit in the recent years Jaan-E-Mann was actually composed by GV Prakash.

When his telugu songs gets released, I am sure he is gonna rock our TFI. Mark my words and Watch out for him !!!
