Career

Following the tragic assassination of his father, Gulshan Kumar, Bhushan Kumar took over leadership of T-Series in 1998 along with his uncle Krishan Kumar. Since then, he has been at the helm of the company as chairman and managing director.

Film producer

In 2013, Kumar produced Nautanki Saala and was involved in releasing the remake Aashiqui 2. T-Series has partnered with filmmakers such as Madhur Bhandarkar and Milan Luthria.

On 3 April 2017, Bhushan Kumar signed Akshay Kumar to star in Mogul, a biographical film about his father. However, Akshay later withdrew from the project. Subsequently, Aamir Khan initially accepted the role but also stepped back before eventually returning.

Bhushan Kumar was born into a Punjabi family in Delhi, the son of T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar and Sudesh Kumari Dua. He married Divya Khosla on 13 February 2005 at the Maa Vaishno Devi temple located in Katra. The couple has a son who was born in October 2011.
