Prashanth made a mistake in acting only as a lover boy in most of his films. His other notable films in 90's are Mani Ratnam directed Thiruda Thiruda and Shankar film Jeans.
[edit] Year 2000 Plus

Not experimenting with his films or not trying to do different films made Prashanth's career in a stale state even though his Juniors Vijay,Ajith Kumar,Vikram and Surya went on to become major stars. Now is is expecting R.K.Selvamani directed film Pulan Visaranai 2 to do the trick for him.
