Praveen Kumar G
Praveen Kumar G—honestly, this guy’s got a pretty wild track record when it comes to Kannada cinema. You toss his name out there, and fans immediately start rattling off his work: Amara Premi Arun (2025), Yellow Gangs (2022), and Ninna Sanihake (2021). Each one? Totally different vibe.
Yellow Gangs, for example, is all grit and chaos. The film plunges you straight into the underbelly of Bengaluru, where rival street gangs clash for power and respect. It’s not just about the violence, though—there’s a rawness to the story that hits hard. Praveen doesn’t just direct; he practically drags you into the mess, making you feel every punch, every betrayal. The characters are messy, unpredictable, and painfully real. You start rooting for them, even when you know they’re making atrocious choices. And the visuals? Man, they linger.
Then there’s Ninna Sanihake—a total tonal shift. This one’s drenched in romance and nostalgia, centering on young love that’s equal parts awkward and heartwarming. Praveen crafts these imperfect, lovable leads who fumble through their feelings, and you end up grinning like an idiot at their antics. He nails the small moments that make you remember your own first crush.
And, Amara Premi Arun is already hyped up as the next big thing, mixing drama and emotion with Praveen’s signature boldness. The dude doesn’t play it safe. If Praveen's name is on the poster, you know you’re in for something that refuses to settle for boring.
