Ken Karunaas reveals GV Prakash scored music for Youth without salary: ‘I ranted to him…’

He also revealed that he wanted to make a light-hearted film that audiences could resonate with. “One evening, during a casual discussion on our terrace, a friend began sharing stories from his school days. That prompted me to recall my own memories from school. We were all laughing uncontrollably, and that was when we realised there was a spark in those moments that could become a fun film,” he shared, talking about the idea that sparked the film.

Billed as a fun entertainer, the cast also features Suraj Venjaramoodu, Anishma Anil Kumar, Devadarshini, Meenakshi Dinesh, and Priyanshi Yadav. The film was announced in October 2025, and completed production in December

Ken, Vignesh Srikanth, and Eshwar Santhanalakshmi have written lyrics for the film. Besides GV Prakash, the technical crew of Youth includes Viki as the cinematographer, Nash as the editor, and Ramu Thangaraj as the editor. For the unversed, GV Prakash had composed music for Asuras (2018) and Vaathi (2023), which featured Ken in key supporting roles.

The upcoming film is produced by Karuppiah C Ram, Sulochana Kumar, and Kali Rajkumar. Paarvathaa Entertainments and Street Boy Studios are producing the film which is slated for a March 19 release in theatres.
