Early life
Kumar was born on 14 October 1986 to Vijayalakshmi and Narsimhaiah at K. C. General Hospital in the Malleswaram locality of Bangalore, Karnataka. He has a sister named Harshashree. He completed his pre-university education from Peenya Government College having opted for Science. Pursuing an undergraduate course, he received Bachelor of Science degree in Biotechnology from KLE College in Bangalore. From his younger days, he has spent his time and energy on filling the pages of his notebooks with poems and that is as early as his passion for writing and cinema.
As director
Suni kick started his career with Janumada Gelathi, where he worked as an assistant director under Dinesh Baboo. Simultaneously working for Januma Janumadallu, under Prema, he later went on to become an associate director for Dinesh Baboo in School Master and other films. Subsequently focus shifted to a few short films, but when he decided to go independent, what came his way was Simple Agi Ondh Love Story. When producers expected him to cut down budgets with each script, a few friends and Suni decided to go independent and invested their own money and made Simple Agi Ondh Love Story on a budget of approximately ₹30 to 40 lakhs. Bahuparak and Manamohaka are the two movies which are under production by Suni.
As producer
Suni began his production house named Suvin Cinemaas and etymologically this has been derived from the names of his father, mother and his own. He also feels that it denotes triumph (win) which is good (Su in Sanskrit means good).
