Ravi Prakash

Ravi Prakash, born December 4, 1978, in the bustling city of Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, has made his mark as a reliable face in Indian cinema, especially if you’re a fan of those clever, layered supporting roles that sneak up and steal the scene. He’s not one of those flashy, headline-grabbing superstars, but honestly, that’s part of his charm—he’s the guy who walks in, quietly owns his screen time, and leaves you thinking, Wait, who was that guy? Why haven’t I noticed him before? His career’s a wild ride across languages—Telugu, Tamil, Hindi—you name it. The man’s basically a shape-shifter, flipping between genres and characters like it’s no big deal. Remember him in “Gabbar Is Back” (2015)? Yeah, that’s him, mixing it up in a big Bollywood action flick, holding his own with Akshay Kumar. Or in “Athadu” (2005), where he’s right in the thick of that twisty, high-stakes drama, giving you those subtle expressions that say a lot without shouting. And don’t sleep on “Thalaivaa” (2013). Ravi’s there too, bringing that measured intensity—never over-the-top, just the right amount of oomph. He’s built a rep as one of those go-to actors directors lean on when they need someone dependable, someone who can add a touch of realism and depth to a film. Off-camera, not much tabloid fodder—he’s low-key, keeps it professional, more about the craft than the circus. Basically, if you’re scanning credits and spot his name, you know you’re in for someone who’ll ground the story, make the world feel a little more believable. That’s Ravi Prakash—a solid bet in any cast.
