Prem Kumar is a Tamil filmmaker and cinematographer whose career includes camera work on films such as Pasanga, Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom and Sundarapandian, followed by directing 96 and Meiyazhagan. His films are primarily intimate, emotional dramas focused on memory, friendship, love, family and personal relationships.

His public profile is centered on craft, relationships and humanist storytelling rather than overt social or political messaging.
