![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/Sreekar_Prasad.png/220px-Sreekar_Prasad.png)
Akkineni Sreekar Prasad is an Indian film editor known for his extensive work across multiple Indian cinema industries, including Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu films. He is the son of Akkineni Sanjeevi, a Telugu film editor and director who introduced him to film editing, and the nephew of filmmaker L.V. Prasad.[1] He assisted his father for about twenty films.[2] Sreekar has been active in the industry for over three decades and has collaborated with some of the most prominent directors in Indian cinema, including Mani Ratnam, Vishal Bhardwaj, AR Murugadoss, Vishnuvardhan, Prasanna Vithanage and Santosh Sivan.[3][4][5]
Born into a Telugu family in Chennai,[6][1] Sreekar is a graduate in literature from the University of Madras.[3] He made his debut as a co-editor with the film Swati in 1986 and as an independent editor in the Hindi film, Raakh (1989).[3] He won the National Award for Best Editing with his debut film Raakh in 1989.[3] Over a career spanning more than 35 years, Sreekar has edited over 600 films.[7] He holds a record with nine National Film Awards, seven of which are for Best Editing, making him the most awarded editor in this category.[8] His awards have been conferred by five different Presidents of India.[9]
He was also honored with the first-ever Special Jury Award for editing, recognizing his exceptional contributions to the field.[3] Sreekar's contributions to Indian cinema were acknowledged in the Limca Book of Records 'People of the Year - 2013' list.[10] He also holds a record for editing films in the most languages, with works spanning 17 different languages to date.[10] Alaipayuthey marked Sreekar's first collaboration with Mani Ratnam on a non-linear narrative.[11] To simplify the narrative, they used slo-mo effects and color changes to differentiate episodes. Their team created 17-18 different versions of the film.[11]
