Rithvik Jothi Raj, the 13-year-old actor known for playing Rajinikanth’s grandson in Jailer and Jailer 2, is drawing attention for his interest in technology and entrepreneurship. The young actor from Coimbatore has started a company with his friends, combining his creative interests with an early experiment in online business.
From Video Calls to a Business Idea
Rithvik said the venture began casually when he and his friends were getting bored during video calls. They decided to create a website and put their basic coding knowledge to use. What started as an idea among friends eventually developed into a small company.
The group now runs a website that sells products and offers courses. However, Rithvik has openly acknowledged that the website currently receives few visitors and that they are continuing to maintain it while exploring the venture’s possibilities.
Interest in Python and Robotics
During an interview, Rithvik said he knows Python, a programming language widely used in software development, automation and data analysis. He also spoke about his interest in building robots.
His comments reveal an interest in technology beyond his work in films. However, the available information does not establish the extent of his technical training or the commercial scale of the company.
A Small Team Exploring Online Business
Rithvik said five people are directly involved in the company, with another five associated with the group. He described the additional members as helpers rather than workers.
The venture remains at an early stage, with no publicly verified details about its registered business name, revenue or valuation. Its current focus appears to be maintaining the website and offering products and courses online.
From Digital Content to the Big Screen
Rithvik first gained attention through online videos in which he played multiple characters. He later appeared in films including O2, Sardar and Lucky Baskhar. His role as Rajinikanth’s grandson in the 2023 film Jailer brought him wider recognition, and he returned for its sequel, Jailer 2.
His latest venture adds another dimension to his career. While his company is still a small experiment, it reflects his interest in exploring coding, robotics and online business alongside acting.
The next challenge for the young team will be attracting users to its website and building a sustainable business model. For now, Rithvik’s experience illustrates how curiosity and collaboration can turn a casual idea into an early entrepreneurial project.
