GV Prakash Takes On Bollywood with Full‑Score for ‘Nayyi Navelli’
By Screen Entry Desk · 9 October 2026

Veteran South Indian composer GV Prakash Kumar is set to debut a complete soundtrack for the Hindi venture ‘Nayyi Navelli’, starring Yami Gautam and produced by Aanand L. Rai. The project marks his most ambitious foray into Bollywood, offering a chance to win over a new audience.
GV Prakash Kumar, known for his chart‑topping melodies in Tamil and Telugu cinema, is stepping onto the Hindi film arena with a bold proposition – composing every song for the upcoming drama ‘Nayyi Navelli’. The film, headlined by Yami Gautam and backed by veteran producer Aanand L. Rai, promises a blend of romance and intrigue, and the composer sees it as a perfect canvas to showcase his versatility beyond South Indian borders.
While Prakash has already earned accolades for albums like ‘Theri’ and ‘Maanagaram’, the Bollywood market remains a fresh challenge. Unlike occasional single tracks he has contributed to Hindi projects, ‘Nayyi Navelli’ will feature a full‑length album, giving him the space to experiment with contemporary pop, soulful ballads, and the traditional orchestration that Bollywood audiences cherish.
Industry insiders note that Rai’s confidence in Prakash stems from the latter’s knack for creating instantly memorable hooks that resonate across languages. If the soundtrack strikes the right chord, it could open doors for the composer to collaborate on larger Hindi productions, expanding his footprint in the nation’s most lucrative film sector.
For actors and directors scouting fresh musical talent, Prakash’s move signals a growing trend of South Indian creators crossing over to Hindi cinema, bringing innovative sounds and a pan‑Indian sensibility. The success of ‘Nayyi Navelli’s’ music could set a precedent, encouraging more cross‑regional collaborations.
The film is slated for a late‑year release, and the soundtrack is expected to drop a few weeks prior, creating buzz among both South Indian fans and Bollywood enthusiasts. As the countdown begins, all eyes are on GV Prakash to see whether his melodies can bridge the linguistic divide and earn him a lasting place in the Hindi film music landscape.
