V. Nagendra Prasad

V. Nagendra Prasad isn’t exactly a household name for folks outside the Kannada film crowd, but man, the guy’s left a mark. He’s been in the game since the early 2000s, churning out lyrics, penning scripts, even dabbling in direction. You’ve probably seen his work even if you didn’t clock his name—he’s the brains behind some real bangers in Sandalwood. K.G.F: Chapter 1? Yeah, that juggernaut—he had a hand in that. The film just exploded, right? High-octane action, that gritty gold mine drama, and those lyrics that just stick in your head. That’s Prasad’s style—raw, punchy, gets under your skin. Then you’ve got Kotigobba 2, which is totally a different vibe—action meets comedy, Sudeep going double trouble, and some surprisingly clever writing. Prasad’s fingerprints are all over the script and the songs, giving it that signature wit and swagger. The guy just knows how to play with words, flipping from intense to cheeky in a heartbeat. Let’s not forget Vinayaka Geleyara Balaga. This one’s a bit more old-school, all about friendship, loyalty, and those classic masala moments. The music’s catchy, the dialogues have that nostalgic punch, and Prasad keeps it grounded, never going too over-the-top. Honestly, he’s one of those behind-the-scenes powerhouses—always hustling, always adding that extra spice to whatever project he touches. If you’re watching a Kannada flick with sharp lines and memorable lyrics, there’s a good chance Prasad’s got something to do with it.
