Om Prakash Rao

Om Prakash Rao is an Indian film director, screenwriter, film producer and actor who primarily works in Kannada film industry. He has, till date, directed about 47 films in Kannada language. He rose to fame when a regional channel, TV9 Kannada did a sting operation revealing how Om Prakash Rao casts female actors only if they were willing to give him sexual favors. In spite of these controversies, there are frequent attempts by Kannada media and actors such as Kiccha Sudeepa to give him a platform and normalize his behavior.
