They don't make them like Prahlad any more. An absolute legend. He's a treasure trove of information and anecdotes. Loved the episode, haven't laughed so hard in ages. Bring him back for a round 2, 3, 4... Wanted to share a Prahlad story. I was a rookie copywriter working at an agency in Chennai, and had just written his first set of ad films. The agency and client picked Prahlad's production house for the shoot. To cut down on costs the management decided that only I would travel for the shoot to Mumbai. I was nervous as hell to face this revered director alone, but also excited to be working him. I landed on the set on the first evening, and as is customary on most shoots Prahlad's crew made me sit behind him so I could look at the playback monitor. Prahlad was quite an intimidating figure back then, so I made sure to stay out of his way, but was eager to show him my creative prowess. So when I saw a chance I gathered some courage and made a suggestion to Prahlad. It was nearly 3 AM in the morning and he was grumpy from waiting for something to be fixed. He picked up the mike that he always had in his hand at a shoot, and boomed loud enough for the whole crew to hear - " Who made this agency idiot sit next to me?". It had the desired effect, I crawled back into the shell I came out of, and hardly said a word for the rest of the shoot. Thankfully, the films turned out great. Years later I told Prahlad this story and we had a hearty laugh about it.
Lovely interview...what a raconteur Prahlad Kakkar is.... legend in the Advertising business... you need to get him back again for a second round of unfinished stories
Fascinating to hear PK’s journey from Pune to Delhi and back to Mumbai. God bless Mitali. Loved the bit where PK gets a tight budget of Ra 450 to make a ad pitch to get a job. Fascinating to hear about his walk into Job’s office. His first so called ‘screening’ at Lintas viewed by Gerson. Amazing storyteller.
Another great episode! If we can be a bit greedy, can we ask for a podcast with Harsha Bhogle, with the presence of Avinash in that? Is that too much to ask?
Fantastic conversation Prahlad and Cyrus , my man you rocked the experience and humor it only creative people like you both can do !!! - Yes second episode awaiting
Wow. This guy is KAKAR too like me. I'm from PAKISTAN n muslim n he is Indian n hindu. Really amazed how culture n people evolved. My ancestors were from Afghanistan but we have been living in Pakistan from 100 years and he is indian his ancestors would be from afghanistan too. Btw! I'm pushtoon n i speak pashto
