Biography

Nishan was born to K.S.Prasad,(a customs officer) and Padma, in Coorg, Karnataka.[2] He was brought up in Kolkata, West Bengal. He was a university tennis player. He got a diploma in acting from the Pune Film Institute (FTII).[3] After graduating, he moved to Mumbai to try his luck in Bollywood. He worked with Subhash Ghai in a film entitled Cycle Kick, which was delayed for some time and later released in 2011.[3] As an actor, he believes to expand his horizons and so moved to South India, where he got a chance in the Telugu film Manorama (2009).[3] His character in the film was noted, however he returned to Mumbai and resumed his auditions for roles in Bollywood.[3] He got a call from Shyamaprasad during those days, for playing the lead role in Ritu (2009).[3] About the selection, the actor said, "Shyamaprasad had seen my stills from a model coordinator in Chennai. But I was not sure if I could do the film because Malayalam is a tough language. Shyamaprasad, however, told me that he was confident that I could do the role".[3] After Ritu, he got another notable role in Sibi Malayil's Apoorvaragam. In February, Ee Adutha Kaalathu released in which he played the role of Rustam. This film received positive response from both critics and audiences, and is considered a pathbreaker for its bold and realistic narration and the innovative style of weaving story threads together. His next project Note Out is a comedy film by debutant director Kutty Naduvil. Lavendar, his upcoming project, is slated for a release on 21 September.[citation needed]
