Gulshan Kumar film and TV institute announced

Taking her late father and music mogul Gulshan Kumar’s legacy forward, singer Tulsi Kumar on Tuesday announced the creation of the Gulshan Kumar Film & Television Institute of India (GKFTII).

The film school, which promises to be a comprehensive media school, was announced in Noida in the presence of actress Vidya Balan, who was in the city to promote her forthcoming film Tumhari Sulu.

Tulsi said that her father and the late T-Series music label founder had a dream to open an affordable film school with the best technicians and artists, and she is taking it forward with the support of her husband Hitesh Ralhan.

Balan highlighted the need of credible institutions for film education.

“All the best for this venture,” Balan said.

Tulsi also expressed her excitement at the announcement.

“GKFTII is going to be a one stop hub for filmmaking courses across the country. It is going to provide everyone and upcoming filmmakers with an opportunity to learn and groom their talent. With everyone’s blessing, I hope GKFTII will be one of a kind in India, and then within the world,” Tulsi added.

Known for helping the music industry boom in later 1980s and early 1990s, Gulshan Kumar’s music label T-Series became a name to reckon with. He was murdered in 1997.
