Caption : A still from the shoot of the film.Truly a one of a kind experience to be part of this epic duology directed by Mani sir. To grow up on his films and remember how each of them were events when they came out and the memories associated with them to being part of his vision is a moment to cherish. #ps1 #ponniyinselvan #kalki #maniratnam #sendhanamudhan #theoutsider

Caption : Sendhan and Semban. As part of Ponniyin Selvan, actors who came into contact with horses in scenes were sent for horseriding training by @madrastalkies . I learnt for a few weeks at the @madrasschoolof under the guidance of Alagesan master @alagesan.horse who quickly brought me into speed with their course. It was one part of my preparation since the character was involved in a horse chase scene with #vandhiyathevan as they escape from the #pazhavetturayar ‘s padaiveerargal/army . Ultimately the horse chase didnt make it into the film but it was so fun picking up a new skill! Thanks to Alagesan master and @madrasschoolof for giving the confidence to safely mount,ride and be around these beautiful horses. @lyca_productions #ponniyinselvan #ps1 #shootdiaries #actor #sendhanamudhan #sendhan #pookaaran #ashwinkakumanu #horseriding #horse #madrasschoolofequitation #equestrian

Caption : Last year july 4th @sonxemk and I did a hurried maternity photoshoot on the terrace of the apartment expecting our baby to come July end, and on july 5th evening in a dramatic turn of events, Avira came on my birthday and into our lives. Being with her has been a gift for our family, especially in the last few months. However bleak and bad things look outside, we forget it when we’re with her. So this year, yesterday evening we decided to wear the same clothes as we did last year for the one year photoshoot. Thank you all for your wishes and your blessings, it means a lot to us. ❤️ #stripesandchecks

Caption : Thank you all for your wishes. I had a good birthday, spending it with my family, and that’s more than I can ask for. It’s rare that a father and child can share the same birthday, and I’m forever grateful to share it with my little girl. I love that I now look forward to my birthdays with unicorns, peppa pigs, sealife, and whatever else she’s fascinated with. It made me smile when I dropped her off at school and the teacher asked her if it’s her birthday; she corrected her saying ‘no its my birthday AND my daddy’s birthday’.

Caption : Hope you guys enjoy #ponniyinselvan2 in theaters! Here are a couple of selfies I managed to take in costume early on. Thank you to Mani sir, @madrastalkies @lyca_productions, the technicians, co actors, and the team for a one of a kind experience. It was fantastic working with so many people I looked up to over the years, as well as the young talent in front and behind the screen and be part of film history. Most importantly, thank you to the fans for being so warm and loving. I enjoyed seeing the memes and comments for the last couple of years, saying, “I read the book, I know what happens to you.” Well, now the movie is out, and whether or not I am the twist in the end, I’m happy you guys accepted me as #sendhanamudhan, the flower seller, ardent siva bhakthan, and true love of poonguzhali I hope you will keep me in your imagination when you read the books again for yourselves and future generations. That would be the greatest gift. Thank you so much. Love, Ashwin #ponniyinselvan #kalki sir #epic #journey #worthy #outsider #actorslife #ashwinkakumanu #ponniyinselvan2

Caption : It’s with a great sadness that I share that my brother in law Jayadeva Reddy passed away on the 2nd of December, 2020. The last week has been extremely hard to get through, and I am grateful we were able to be there for each other as a family. My sister fought tirelessly for the last few weeks and its been shattering for all of us to process what has happened. While he was an automotive engineer, he was also a great photographer and a man with a quiet sense of humour. He loved travelling and experiencing different cultures. I have fond memories of going out to dinners and movies with our common group of friends in Ann Arbor. Our road trips in Europe to Italy and France when he was stationed in Munich, Germany. Of Taking him out to our favourite restaurants in Chennai when they visited as a family. He has two beautiful children Arvin and Amara, and was a loving father to them. I wish he was there to see them grow from up close, but I know his spirit will always guide them towards the right path. We miss you and love you. This loss will leave a scar. Rest in Peace and Love Jay.

My little baecub was due next week and decided ‘Hell no, I’m going to come on papa’s birthday and just make that day my own,hold my bottle pa!’ Avira Ruby Kakumanu entered this world on July 5th,2019 and for the rest of my life till I make my way out will cherish this day for being extra special and celebrate our birthdays together! All the cliches are true, a switch goes off in your heart and your eyes start tearing up when you hold your baby for the first time. It’s magical! Thank you @son_emk for carrying this little bun,and bearing all the pain to deliver her safely. I hope we can guide & shepherd her through what life has to offer and come out as better people and hopefully make her world a little better than she found it. #thatsmydaughterinthewater🎶 #cancerian #crabsgotclaws

Caption : 2020 knocked a lot of us down and taught some very hard lessons. The year broke me down in many ways and forced me to look back and inside and come to terms with how some things were illusions and momentary even though I thought and wished they were not. Loss of work, of relationships, of life. But, It also made me realize what I truy love and I’m grateful for the time I got to spend with my family and my daughter and rebuild on what matters at the end of the day. The photo on the left is me in 2004-05 , fresh Martin Scorcese and Deniro fan after discovering Taxi driver and trying to ape that character. The photo on the right is me in December 2020. Creating characters of my own and also rediscovering the roles of father, husband, brother, Uncle and son. Some things you grow out of, some things you grow into and some things still fit the same. Wish you all a better 2021 and the courage ,wisdom & grace to live it.

Caption : A special moment for me in my career. Got to take this photo with Mr. Mani Ratnam after I finished dubbing for my portions in #PonniyinSelvan. From meeting him in his office 12 years ago to auditioning multiple times for different projects to being selected and working on this film, it’s been a ride. 🔥 * * * P.S: That’s my copy of @baradwajrangan book on his table that I took to get autographed. #ponniyinselvan #Manisir #Madrastalkies

Caption : Wishing you the most of what 2019 has to offer. Seize it and live it to the fullest – the last year of the ’10’s. 2018 had some highs and lows, and along the way had some realizations that’ll shape my path into 2019. As an actor,worked with some talented people that have forced me to be better at what I do, and given me the confidence to work toward what I love most.I’ll hopefully have more to share from my output this year. Leaving this post with a quote I saw on the last day of 2018 that’s still playing on my mind in the early hours of 2019. ‘Take risks in life. If you win,you can lead; if you lose,you can guide.’ – Swami Vivekananda. Happy new year! X X X Ashwin Kakumanu

Caption : On my first day of shoot in #vikramgaikwad sir’s makeup chair in Thailand. Getting ready for makeup and they had look test and notes as references for the make up. Vikram sir is such an encyclopedia of film knowledge and history. It was an honor to work with him and his make up team! They worked like an army,getting up at around 2 am and getting the actors ready with the costume team. Loved the experience of being in the hands of a master craftsman! #sendhanamudhan #PS2 #PonniyinSelvan #ManiRatnam #vikramgaikwadteam #vikramdada #ashwinkakumanu

Caption : Decided to give myself some tinkering and polishing today.got fed up of looking like a caveman. Instead of getting food stuck in my beard I can feel the wind. And wife and daughter are thankful as well. 🙂 If anyone’s casting for an 70s or 80s period film let me know.

Caption : When I was going through my world cinema phase and discovered #martinscorcese and #taxidriver . As you can see, the films themes of obsession was lost on me but I was in a dark place back then myself. I rocked the mohawk for a day or so before everyone told me to take it off and not seem like a crazy person. That’s my #meat20 post. #emome #teenagewasteland

As a movie fan, as a cosplay geek, and a photography enthusiast, this is my tribute to the images I love. My #CinemaSpirit series. I’ve loved the period/fantasy genre; Gladiator, Robin Hood, Lord of the rings, and Game of thrones. Couldn’t resist coming up with some images inspired by them. P.S: Finally lucked out in acting in a period film for real this year – Ponniyin Selvan.
