Vinay Balaji, a VFX artist-turned-director, is working with big names in his first film, Nanna Prakara. The 110-minute film, said to be an edge-of-the-seat thriller, stars National Award-winning actor Priyamani, and Kishore in the lead roles. Also starring Mayuri Kyatari, Pramod Shetty, and Niranjan Deshpande, the film was recently certified U/A, without any cuts or mutes.

Happy with the certification, Vinay says that he also got very positive feedback on the screenplay from the censor board. Having worked with directors like A Harsha and Naresh Kumar as a technician, Vinay is quite excited to have a good report for his first film.

With Manohar Joshi roped in as the film’s DOP and Arjun Ram scoring the music, the film is likely to get a release in July.
