Remember Ramai Vastavai actor Girish Kumar? That’s what he’s doing now

Latest update:November 30, 2024 03:47 PM IST

Girish Kumar made his debut in 2013 with the film Ramaya Vastavaiya directed by Prabhu Dev.

Girish is currently the CEO of Tips Industries.

Producer Kumar S. Taurani’s son Girish Kumar Taurani made his debut in 2013 with Ramaiya Vastavaiya directed by Prabhu Dev. His father invested a significant Rs 38 crore in its launch, but despite the big budget, the film failed at the box office. Kumar S. Taurani also hoped to achieve success with the film starring Bobby Deol and Saif Ali Khan, but unfortunately, he was also unable to turn around his son’s career. Ramaya Vastavaya featured Girish in the lead role opposite Shruti Haasan, who was already well known in both South Indian and Bollywood films. While Girish’s film experience has given him an edge, he still strives to connect with audiences. Despite his father’s support as a producer, he failed to achieve success.

Girish was founded by his father with high hopes of a successful career. He played a bubbly romantic lead in Ramaiah Vastavaya and although he received praise for his performance, the film ended up being a big disappointment. Unfortunately, Girish appeared in only one film, Lovshuda (2016), which also flopped. This marked the end of his short acting career, which lasted only two films.

In Bollywood, children of filmmakers, especially those from families of producers or directors, are often expected to achieve success easily. However, this was not the case with Girish. After his debut, there were high hopes for his future, but after Ramai Vastavaiya, his only film Loveshuda also flopped. His poor performances in both films had a profound impact on his career. And in the end he left acting.

Girish is currently the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Tips Industries, a major film production, distribution and music company valued at Rs 4,700 crore. Having moved from acting to behind-the-scenes roles, he is now focused on distributing high-profile films including Ponniyin Selvan, Sriram Raghavan’s thriller Merry Christmas and other upcoming projects.
