Frames shaped by Tamil cinema
Light, lens, and story — from Tamil Nadu roots to sets in Bangalore.
Based in Bangalore · Tamil cinema
Arun Prabhakar is a film director and cinematographer with deep roots in Tamil Nadu and a working base in Bangalore. His craft spans the camera and the director's chair — lighting, framing, and guiding stories from set to screen.
On location and in production, he brings a disciplined eye to every frame: reading light, choosing lenses, and shaping mood so the story lands with clarity and feeling.
From temple courtyards to studio floors, his work is grounded in respect for the craft and the people who make Tamil cinema what it is.
