From Gully Boy to Nagabandham: RC Pranav Makes History with His Debut on a ₹100 Crore Telugu Fantasy Epic

As Nagabandham continues its theatrical run, one name that's garnering attention behind the scenes is film editor RC Pranav, who has created history by becoming the only film editor in India to make his feature editing debut on a ₹100 crore project.

Before taking charge of the edit suite for Nagabandham, RC Pranav honed his craft under legendary film editor Anthony before building an impressive portfolio of over 600 commercials across five languages. His journey also includes contributions to acclaimed films like Gully Boy, where he co-edited the songs, and 83, where he worked on the gripping cricket match sequences and key scenes.

With Nagabandham, Pranav has taken on one of the most ambitious fantasy films in recent Telugu cinema. Beyond editing the feature film, he also crafted its official teaser and trailer, helping establish the film's larger-than-life visual identity long before it reached audiences.

Known within the industry as the "World's Fastest Editor," a title affectionately given by director Abhishek Nama and producers Kishore and Nishita, Pranav has earned a reputation for delivering high-quality work under demanding post-production schedules.

*Reflecting on his journey, RC Pranav shares,* "Nagabandham has been one of the most creatively fulfilling experiences of my career. From editing the teaser and trailer to shaping the feature film, every frame carried the responsibility of bringing this incredible world to life. I am deeply grateful to director Abhishek Nama and producers Kishore and Nishita for believing in me and trusting my vision. Making my feature editing debut with a film mounted on this scale is something I will always cherish."

Mounted on a grand scale with mythology, cutting-edge VFX, and spectacular action sequences, Nagabandham marks a significant milestone in RC Pranav's career. As audiences continue to experience the fantasy epic in theatres, the editor's remarkable journey—from assisting one of India's finest editors to making history with his debut—cements him as one of the most promising editing talents in Indian cinema.
