As of now, the first week of February will see two films with Prakash Rai in major roles hit the screen on the same day. Both Priyanka, directed by Dinesh Baboo and Devara Naadalli directed by B Suresha are set to release on February 5.

Prakash Rai plays prominent roles in both the films. A point of interest is that in both the films, Rai plays a police investigator. In Priyanka he is an police investigator trying to crack a murder case.

In Devara Naadalli he is a police officer investigating into a bomb blast case. It would be a bonanza for his fans but now the two film makers are worried that the roles he is playing in the two films would confuse audience. If it is taken seriously, release of one of the films could be delayed. 

Prakash Rai says his dream of acting in Dinesh Baboo film has come true. Prakash Rai has acted in Dinesh Baboo’s forthcoming film ‘Priyanka’ which stars Priyanka Upendra in the lead role.

Prakash Rai was talking during the press meet of the film. ‘Till now I have acted in the direction of 300 plus directors. But till now I couldn’t act in a Dinesh Baboo film due to various reasons. I like his films very much and I always wanted to act in his direction. Last year Baboo had called me to collect the number of Abhilash who had acted in my ‘Oggarane’. During that time Baboo asked me whether I could act in the film for which I gladly obliged to’ said Prakash Rai.
