He was the son of Tuticorin MR.Perumal. Actress T. P. Muthulakshmi, his sister-in-law, helped with his upbringing. In the early 2000s, Gajendran directed a series of medium-budget family comedy drama films featuring Prabhu in titular lead roles. These include Budget Padmanabhan (2000), Middle Class Madhavan (2001), and Banda Paramasivam (2003), while a fourth film Aasai Vachen Unmele was shelved after a few schedules. He also attempted to make a Hindu devotional film, owing to the trend in Tamil cinema during 2001, but Karppoora Naayagi featuring Roja and Bhanupriya was later shelved.
