Prasanna V Shetty

Prasanna V Shetty? Oh, he’s one of those faces you spot across all kinds of screens in India—stage, TV, movies, you name it. Guy kicked things off with Sanchari Theatre over in Bangalore, which is a pretty legit launching pad for anyone into theatre. That’s where he really sharpened his chops before jumping into the whole film scene. And honestly, he’s not just hanging around in the background either—he grabs lead roles and runs with them. Take "Aaraariraaro," for example. That one didn’t just fade into the background like half the indie films out there. Nope, it actually made it into the Indian Panorama at IFFI 2023. Not a small feat, and people genuinely loved what Prasanna did with the role. He’s not just a one-hit wonder though—there’s "Nimma Vasthugalige Neeve Javabdararu," where he leads again, and critics didn’t hold back on the praise. The movie dropped recently, and it’s already getting all sorts of nods. His filmography? Man, it’s packed. He’s been in "Harivu," "Sipayi," "Cinema My Darling," and "Kiragoorina Gayyaligalu"—all from 2016 alone, so the guy works hard. Fast-forward a bit, there’s "BB5," "Shuddhi," "Allama," "Pathumma," and "Ramadhanya"—all stacked between 2017 and 2018. He even went bold with "XVideos" and kept the momentum with "Fan," "Rider," and "Naanu Adu Matthu Saroja." Basically, Prasanna’s been everywhere, always turning up with something new, and never really phoning it in.
