A very special musician comes to town
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, March 10, 2007]

There has been a huge glut of music director coming from Tamil to Telugu these days. You had the great Ilayaraja’s son Yuvan Shankar Raja come here (albeit through many dubbed ventures).

Then there was Harris Jeyaraj. He was seen as Rehman Mark II. Though he did not evoke the same feel as the master, Harris is still going strong in Telugu.

Now one more young musician from Tamil is testing the waters here. And that is from A R Rehman’s family itself.

G V Prakash is the young man’s name.

Just all of nineteen, he is probably the youngest mainstream active film musician in the country, G V Prakash is a happening name in Tamil now after his first movie Veyyil opened new vistas.

Now G V Prakash is debuting Telugu under Kona Venkat’s direction. The film Adi Oka Idhile stars Sada and Madhavan in the leads.

Prakash brings to his work the same stylized zing that set apart Rehman. Incidentally, Prakash’s mother Rehana —Rehman’s sister — is a music director and a singer in her own right.

So that indeed makes Prakash very special.
