Southern composer G.V. Prakash Kumar has turned actor with upcoming Tamil thriller "Pencil". The actor's look in the film has been raved about and he attributes his good looks to the music he has composed over the years.
"I provide feel good songs and maybe the goodness is spreading to my looks as well," Prakash said in a statement.
"Pencil" features Prakash as a school student. It is about incidents that take place over the course of a day.
Known for composing music for films such as "Veyyil", "Kireedam" and "Saivam", Prakash said, "it's destiny that made me an actor. I never planned all this".
Even as he waits to complete shooting for "Pencil", Prakash has already signed his second film titled "Trisha Illena Nayantara".
