The first non-Tamil film that he produced was his directorial debut in Kannada "Naanu Nanna Kanasu" in 2010, a remake of his own Tamil production "Abhiyum Naanum", for which he was the joint producer, along with his long-time Bengaluru theatre friend, Kannada director-producer B. Suresh. In 2011, he acted and jointly produced the Kannada film "Puttakkana Highway", again with B. Suresh, who directed the film. It was a milestone in Prakash's production career since "Puttakkana Highway" won him the National Award for Best Regional Film for the year 2010–2011, and an award in the fourth Bengaluru International Film Festival of 2011.
