This man traveled all the way from Karnataka
to Chennai with Rs.140 in his pocket, knowing
only one person Balachander. Actually, he
was Prakash Rai and not Prakash Raj but for
his debut in Balachander's Duet, Prakash Rai
had to become Prakash Raj. "Balachander
gave me an explanation that made a lot of
sense then. The movie was being made during
the peak of the Cauvery water issue, and he
didn't
want
my name to betray where I came from." hence
Prakash Rai turned Prakash Raj, he speaks plainly.
Now, he is one of the busy actors in picking
up character roles in both Tamil and Telugu
industry. In the movie Kalki, which was directed
by K.B. Prakash gave his maximum efforts and
he received accolades for his acting. The latest
movie is being produced by Prakash Raj under
the banner Duet movies.
