Career
Before making his mark in the film industry as a director, Prem Kumar was established as a cinematographer, working on several Tamil films including Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom (2012), which was based on an incident in which he fell during a cricket match and lost his memory during his own wedding.[1] His first film as a director was the reunion film '96, which was well received.[2][3][4] The film was noted for having a strong female lead character, which was lacking in most Tamil films.[5] He subsequently directed Jaanu (2020), the Telugu remake of '96.[6] His third film as a director was Meiyazhagan, which was based on the bromance between its lead characters, also released to positive reviews.[7][8]
