2. ⚫Avinash Kuri was a big fan of Bollywood. Since his
childhood, his dream was to become an actor. His
father was in Indian Army, and hence he has spent his
childhood in Army Cantonments.
⚫Though it’s hard to believe Avinash used to copy his
Grandfather’s action when he was just 2 years old.

3. ⚫He used to mimic others when he was grown up a
bit. His favorite time pass was to watch movies only.
⚫Avinash used to think about choosing his father’s
career path, also most of his friends were going on the
same path as they all were army kids.

4. ⚫While watching these all movies on Doordarshan, he
had so many ideas. He wanted to make a film on an
Army soldier from a non-officer perspective but
situations never let him think more about his ideas.
⚫His love for acting was never going to leave him. He
was in the 5th standard when he watched a Vinod
Khanna film which was based on the life of Bandits.

5. ⚫This movie left a different impression on him.
Avinash liked this movie so much that he gathered his
friends to make their own bandit’s story.
⚫While watching famous superstars like Amitabh
Bachchan, Govinda, Shahrukh Khan, etc on the big
screen, he always wanted to experience that in his life.
Watching these actors made him fell in love with
acting even more.

6. ⚫One of his life incidents changed his mind, he even
stopped watching movies. One day his teacher asked
to write an essay on “What do I want to become when
I grew up?” He wrote about becoming an army soldier
while one of his friends wrote about becoming an
actor.
⚫His teacher shouted at him for choosing acting as a
career, which was wrong at her part.

7. ⚫After getting his mind off from movies, he saw his
classmates going after Engineering. He decided to go
with the flow.
⚫He joined The Army school of Technology, Pune and
once again acting came to his life. When his seniors
used to call him for ragging, he used to mimic or
some story depiction.

8. ⚫It didn’t take him any longer to realize what he
actually wanted to do in life. Entertaining people by
his skills and talent was going to be his next step.
⚫He had another mountain in front of him to convince
his parents for his new career choice. With a confused
mind, he joined a job in a Software company named
John Deere.

9. ⚫Still, he wasn’t ready to give up on his dreams, he
joined a theatre group to work with them after office.
⚫He did his first professional theatre play “Khamosh
Adalat Jaari Hai”. Then the show was never going to
stop, he worked on his next play called “Long Live
Revolution” which was co-written and co-directed by
him

10. ⚫After completing his 3 years at John Deere company
wanted to give him an early promotion but he refused
and also resigned from the job to follow his dreams.
⚫He shifted to Mumbai and worked really hard. His
upcoming feature film ‘Nirmal Anand Ki Puppy’ is
proof that hard work always pays off. His life is not
less than a movie itself.
