G. M. Kumar

G. M. Kumar is an Indian actor and former director who has worked in Tamil language films.

Kumar debuted in films by directing Sivaji Productions' Aruvadai Naal (1986) with Prabhu in the lead role.

In the early 2000s, he was once again on the verge of bankruptcy and chose to act in minor roles offered by his protege Raj Kapoor, in films including Ramchandra and the unreleased Sivalingam IPS.

[6] Bala approached him to star in Avan Ivan as a character called Highness, with his performance winning him a nomination for the Vijay Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Critics labelled his performance as "riveting", though the film only won average reviews.
