Venkat Prabhu: From Fame to Fading Connections—60028 Team’s Split and Code's Aftermath"

When Venkat Prabhu was directing Code with Vijay, his name was all over social media, but now, no one knows where he is or what he’s up to. While Vijay has moved on with his next project, Venkat Prabhu has quietly finished the script for his upcoming film’s third part, though it remains in limbo.

After Code, producers AGS Kalpathi and Archana Kalpathi distanced themselves from him, with Venkat Prabhu leaving the project after filming, refusing to participate in any promotional work. As a result, he was noticeably absent from success meets and parties, sparking speculation of a rift between him and the producers.

Though many producers showed interest during Code's shoot, none reached out afterward. By the time Venkat Prabhu moved on to his next project, his once tight-knit team of 15 was reduced to just 6. Key people like Panchu Arunachalam’s son, Panchu Subbu, and Vijay Vasanth (now an MP) have drifted away due to disagreements, leaving the third part of 60028 stalled.
