A R Rahman, the Oscar winning music maestro, has gifted his beautiful white grand piano to his nephew and renowned music director G V Prakash Kumar. This thoughtful gesture comes as a celebration of G V Prakash's second National Award win for his outstanding work in the soundtrack of the Dhanush starrer 'Vaathi'.
G V Prakash shared pictures of the piano on his X timeline, expressing his gratitude to A R Rahman for the incredible gift. He wrote, "The best ever gift I received. @arrahman sir gifted me this beautiful white grand piano for receiving the National Awards for the second time. Thanks a lot sir, this means a lot. The piano used by the legend himself. What better gift can I ask for?"
G V Prakash's second National Award win is a testament to his talent and dedication to music. He dedicated this award to his fans, who have stood by him for 20 years and supported him throughout his career. In an exclusive interview, G V Prakash shared his thoughts on winning the National Award, saying, "I am very thankful and happy that I have won a National Award. This is my second time. I am really grateful for this. I would like to dedicate this to all my fans who stood with me for all these 20 years and 110 films."
G V Prakash's musical journey is marked by his exceptional talent and versatility. He won his first National Award for his background score in the blockbuster film 'Soorarai Pottru', featuring actor Suriya in the lead. This time, he won it for the music he composed for a song in 'Vaathi' / 'SIR' starring Dhanush. G V Prakash explained the difference between scoring music for a song and scoring background music for a film, saying, "Both are completely different. But background score involves scoring music for three hours or two and a half hours while songs are around like half an hour. Scoring for around two hours of a film is very tough. But both have their own challenges." With this gift from A R Rahman, G V Prakash's musical legacy continues to grow, inspiring fans and aspiring musicians alike.
