ACTOR PRASANNA GIVES VOICE TO KALKI’S ‘PULI RAJA’

Chennai, 6th Sept 2021:

South Indian Actor Prasanna has narrated ‘Puli Raja’ by the late author Kalki, in memory of his birthday. The audio book will premier on Storytel on 9th Sept 2021 coinciding with Kalki’s birthday.

The story revolves around a King whose death at the hands of a tiger had been foretold by astrologers when he was born. He tries to reverse the fate spelled out for him and the author uses thinly veiled satire to walk the reader through the King’s attempts which later proven futile, in a manner that makes them laugh
