Personal life
Harikumar Krishnamoorthy was born on 3 January 1989 in Tripunithura, Kerala,[4] but grew up in Gurgaon, Haryana. After completing his engineering, he started making documentaries and short films with friends. In 2010, he fell critically ill and that's when he finished writing his first book's manuscript.[5] After facing rejection from many publishers, the book finally came out as When Strangers Meet in 2013 under Srishti Publishers. The book is the story of three strangers who meet in a metro station and how each one of them influences the other to bring about a change in their lives. The book is partially based on real incidents and the author's own life. In 2015, Hari Kumar's second book That Frequent Visitor was published.[6] The book was a tribute to the Delhi anti-rape protests.
Under the mentorship of notable filmmaker, Sangeeth Sivan, K Hari Kumar ventured into mainstream feature films with E (Malayalam Movie) which marks the comeback of actress Gautami in Malayalam cinema.[7]
