Many of Prakash’s songs have become mega hits, including “Om Sivoham” with Ilayaraja, which was the main attraction of the 2009 Telugu film Naan Kadavul. His Kannada songs “Khali Quarter” and “Hoge” have gone viral on social media, and his song “Bombe Helutaite” picturized on Puneeth Rajkumar has become one of the industry’s evergreen songs. Since Prakash’s film debut in 2002, he has sung over 300 songs in many different languages.
