Tarun Gopi (born 10 April) is an Indian film director, scriptwriter and film producer. His first film as director was Thimiru (2006), which became one of the year's top-grossing Tamil films. He later ventured into acting roles, but has since prioritised his work as an actor below directorial duties.
Indian film Director, Script writer,producer Mr.Tarun Gopi was born in Gudalur in his native place in Theni District of Tamil Nadu.India and was brought up in Madurai . Tarun Gopi had his School Graduation at the Government Higher Secondary School and then studied bachelor's degree Graduation in Accounting at Madurai Kamaraj University of Tamil Nadu. Soon after completing his education, he joined as an assistant director and apprenticed under directors Sakthi Chidambaram and Upendra. Tarun Gopi made his debut with the masala film, Thimiru (2006) featuring Vishal in the lead role. He was keen on casting actress Sriya Reddy in a villainous role and was only successful in signing her on after several rounds of negotiation, with the casting subsequently winning acclaim post-release. The film opened in August 2006 to positive reviews, with a critic from The Hindu adding "Gopi's packaging and treatment make Thimiru engaging".Thimiru became a very successful venture at the box office and Tarun Gopi immediately began pre-production work on another script featuring Madhavan, but later discontinued work the project.
His next venture was Kaalai (2008) featuring Silambarasan and Vedhicka, which fared poorly at the box office and received negative reviews. During the making of the film, Tarun fell out with Silambarasan, with the pair reported to have had a brawl on the location of the shoot. Also during 2007, he announced that he would act as the antagonist in Silambarasan's directorial venture Kettavan and would work on a bilingual film, Nee Oda Naan Thuratha, with Prabhas, Lekha Washington, Ravi Krishna and Nila in the lead roles. However, the former venture was shelved after a single schedule and the latter project did not materialise. Tarun Gopi then set up his own production studio and began work on his home production venture, Kaatupaiya, where he would play the lead role himself. He was unsuccessful in bringing in Reemma Sen to play the heroine and subsequently found it difficult to continue the project, so accepted an offer to act and make his debut through Rasu Madhuravan's Mayandi Kudumbathar (2009), alongside nine other directors. The film had an average run at the box office, and during a press meet for the film, Tarun Gopi lashed out at actors Vishal and Silambarasan for treating him poorly in his earlier directorial commitments. He accused the pair of tearing promotional posters of Mayandi Kudumbathar and spoke of their continuous interference in their respective films. Tarun Gopi's outburst was widely criticised by his contemporaries in the film industry.
