GV Prakash has been having a productive and successful month, thanks to the releases of Happy Raj and Youth, in which he composed music for the film. With both the films receiving positive response from audiences and critics, the actor-composer expressed his gratitude and thanks to people for making them both the commercial entertainers a hit.

In a video note that he shared on his X handle, GV Prakash said the same and noted that he along with the Happy Raj team will continue their theatre visits across the state. Videos of the cast and crew engaging with audiences in cities like Chennai, Madurai, Pollachi, Thiruvannamalai, and Puducherry have been going viral on social media. The actor also reflected on the success of the Ken Karunaas-directorial. "Grateful to the universe. What a March," he wrote.

Directed by debutant Maria Raja Elanchezian, Happy Raj, released on March 27, also stars Sri Gouri Priya and George Maryan, with Abbas making a comeback after a long sabbatical. Prarthna, Geetha Kailasam, Madurai Muthu, Adhirchi Arun, and Devi Mahesh, among others are part of the film's supporting cast.

It follows Anandraj aka Happy Raj (GV Prakash), a young man weighed down by his father’s social stigma, who struggles with isolation and rejection in both life and love. Seeking a fresh start, he moves to Bengaluru, where he meets Kavya and finds a chance at happiness. As their relationship deepens, the prospect of marriage brings their contrasting worlds into conflict. What follows is a clash shaped by class differences, cultural gaps, and the search for dignity.

On the other hand, Youth, released on March 19, revolves around Praveen (Ken), a high-schooler who falls in love with three women: Anshima Anilkumar, Meenakshi Dinesh and Priyanshi Yadav. The resultant chaos and comedy that unfolds, forms the core of the film. It also stars Devadarshini and Suraj Venjaramoodu, among others.
