We heard the characteristic AR Rahman strains in G.V. Prakash's solo debut in the Tamil film Veyil in 2006, but Prakash says he is beginning to resent comparisons with his uncle. As his biggest project so far, the Tamil musical Kuselan starring Rajinikanth, gets rave reviews, Prakash says that while he looks up to his uncle, comparing his music to Rahman's is unfair. The 21-year-old is a Grade 8 Gold medallist pianist from Trinity College, London, and has already worked with some of the best music directors in the business, including Anu Malik and Rahman.
