KV Vijayendra Prasad
On Wednesday, veteran screenwriter KV Vijayendra Prasad — along with athlete PT Usha, composer Ilaiyaraaja, and Veerendra Heggade — was nominated to the Rajya Sabha in the category of eminent persons chosen by the President of India. It comes as a fitting honour for the director-writer who has successfully straddled Telugu, Tamil and Hindi cinema. With a career spanning almost four decades, he has been the mind behind blockbusters like RRR, the Baahubali franchise and Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), among others.
