Praveen Antony

Born smack-dab in the heart of Madurai on February 2nd, 1990, Praveen Antony didn’t exactly tumble into editing by accident—nah, the guy’s a total film nerd with an eye for tight cuts and a knack for timing. You might’ve caught his name rolling in the credits of “Enai Noki Paayum Thota” (2019), that Gautham Menon flick that took forever to come out—yeah, blame post-production delays, not Praveen. Before that, he was slicing and dicing frames for “Tamilselvanum Thaniyar Anjalum” (2016), which, let’s be real, is kind of a wild ride for a delivery-boy-centric story. And then there’s “Dhruva Natchathiram,” which basically became the stuff of legend for how long it’s been in the oven. Praveen’s editing style isn’t about flashy gimmicks or over-the-top cuts—it’s got this cool, smooth flow that just lets the story breathe. The dude knows when to let a shot linger and when to chop it brutally short—like, he gets the rhythm of a scene. There’s a certain confidence in his work, like he’s not scared to let silence do the heavy lifting every now and then. Honestly, if you’re into Tamil cinema, you’ve probably felt his fingerprints on more than one project. He’s not the kind of guy who’s splashed all over film posters, but in the editing suite? That’s his kingdom. And considering his track record, you just know he’s got plenty more tricks up his sleeve. Keep an eye out; the dude’s just getting started.
