PRK Productions was founded on 20 July 2017.[1] The production house made its feature film debut with Kavaludaari (2019), a neo-noir thriller film starring Rishi and Anant Nag.[4] The studio's next film was Mayabazar 2016 (2020), which featured an ensemble cast of Raj B. Shetty, Vasishta N. Simha, and Prakash Raj.[5] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the production house's next two ventures, Law and French Biriyani, were directly released on Amazon Prime Video in 2020.[3] Law marked the film debut of Ragini, Prajwal Devaraj's wife.[6] French Biriyani starred Danish Sait and Sal Yusuf marked the film debut of TikToker Disha Madan.[7]

Ashwini took over the production house fully after Puneeth's death in October 2021 and continued their objective of supporting and bring in fresh faces and ideas into the industry.[11] In 2023, they released the comedy drama movie Aachar & Co. directed and acted by Sindhu Sreenivas Murthy with a majority of cast as newbies and women.[12][13] The movie opened to positive to mixed reviews from critics but ran to full theatres with family audience across Karnataka for around 25 days.
