 However, the former venture was shelved after a single schedule and the latter project did not materialise.Tarun Gopi then set up his own production studio and began work on his home production venture, "Kaatupaiya", where he would play the lead role himself.He was unsuccessful in bringing in Reemma Sen to play the heroine and subsequently found it difficult to continue the project, so accepted an offer to act and make his debut through Rasu Madhuravan's "Mayandi Kudumbathar" (2009), alongside nine other directors.
