Prabhu Solomon

2021-present

In 2021, Solomon directed Kaadan, a film set in a territory familiar to him - revolving around elephants and protecting forests. According to Indiaglitz, Kaadan, for a Tamil film, presents North Indian police officers and has a lot of North sensibilities which make audience feel an instant disconnect as well. All said, Prabhu Solomon's Kaadan has set its intention right and is a noteworthy venture for its important social message, but the film received mixed reviews. His 2022 film Sembi, produced by Trident Arts productions, on the other hand, received highly positive reviews. Touted to be an intense social drama, set against the backdrop for Kodaikanal, Ashwin Kumar Lakshmikanthan plays the lead in the film alongside actors Kovai Sarala and Thambi Ramaiah. Solomon directed Kumki 2 (2025), the sequel to his 2012 film Kumki. His direction was criticized by a The Times of India review as lacking flow at times.
