Arunabh Kumar Gave Up His Dream Of Making Films In 2012 And 20 Years Later, TVF’s 1st Film, Vvaan Inches Towards Rs 100 Cr Mark

Reflecting on his journey, Arunabh Kumar shared how he spent six difficult years trying to break into filmmaking before starting TVF in 2012. Two decades later, his first theatrical film, Vvaan, is winning hearts across mass belts and heading towards the ₹100-crore mark. TVF founder Arunabh Kumar recently shared a heartfelt social media post, looking back at his 20-year journey and thanking everyone who helped make his cinematic dream a reality.

Few know that Arunabh came to Mumbai in 2006 with dreams of making a film. After years of rejection from the film, advertising and television industries, his financial situation became so difficult that by 2012, he did not know where his next meal would come from. He eventually put his filmmaking dream on hold and started TVF to make corporate AVs n YouTube videos.

Sharing his gratitude on social media, Arunabh wrote, “Personal Reflection & Professional Gratitude… As our film metaphorically tries to reach a figure of 100 Crore Gross at Box Office…I would like to pray to “Chhathi Maiyaa” for blessing me and Maa Van Devi for seeing this through… and thank each and every soul who was involved with the making of this film since inception. (P.S.- Ever Since the boy in pic2, dreamt of it sitting in a Hiranandani CCD in 2006 staring at a laptop trying to write 1st film) Will be putting some more posts soon”

Arunabh also thanked producer Ektaa Kapoor for encouraging him to return to filmmaking and backing Vvaan. He acknowledged director Deepak Mishra, co-writer Anandeshwar Dwivedi, and the entire cast and crew for helping bring his vision to life.

After building a strong presence in the digital space, TVF’s move into theatrical cinema with Vvaan marks another major milestone, bringing years of hard work and storytelling to the big screen.
