Prashanth Neel is an Indian film director and screenwriter who primarily works in the Kannada film industry. He made his debut with the 2014 Kannada film, Ugramm. He then followed it up with the film KGF, which was written and directed by him. His next film KGF: Chapter 2, is scheduled for a theatrical release on 16 July 2021.[1]
Career
2014–2019: Debut in Kannada cinema and breakthrough
In an interview with a Kannada weekly magazine, Neel said he took to filmmaking initially for the need of money, following which he completed a course in the same, eventually developing interest in it. After having completed the course, he decided to cast his brother-in-law and actor Srimurali in Aa Hudugi Neene, a screenplay that he had written during the time. After the latter expressed his concerns due to his inexperience, Neel changed his mind and began observing Srimurali's mannerisms over a period of time, and came up with the project Ugramm, an action film.[2] The film turned out to be a massive commercial success and emerged as one of the highest-grossing Kannada films of 2014.[3]
Reports emerged in late 2014 and early 2015 of Neel having been signed to direct three films. The first is a sequel to Ugramm, entitled Ugramm Veeram, which would feature Srimurali reprise his role from Ugramm. His next film KGF which stands for Kolar Gold Fields presented Yash in the role of Rocky, an orphan who becomes a don and the film turned to be an all-time Kannada Industry hit. The film released in five languages at the same time and has set the premises for a sequel which will be happening soon considering the success of the first film.
2020–present: Debut in Telugu cinema
On 2 December 2020, Hombale Films have announced the film Salaar. The film's shoot began on 29 January 2021. In May 2021, Mythri Movie Makers have announced a film in collaboration with Neel and N. T. Rama Rao Jr.[4]
