Later Kumar changed his career, since his family bought a shop that dealt with economic audio cassettes and records. This was just the prelude to a great music empire.The music business proved to be very profitable and hence Gulshan Kumar ventured into producing cassettes; he got himself involved in an audio cassette venture titled “Super Cassettes Industries”; this turned to be very fruitful. Added to this, a music production company was initiated by him. He made a noble act by selling the 1970s music cassettes with a supreme quality at economic rates. This business soared and eventually he exported superior quality cassettes to foreign countries. Gulshan Kumar started the T-series label which went on to become the greatest music label in India. He became very rich and became king of the music business. Kumar wanted to taste success in Bollywood too, and hence he moved to Mumbai. He started to deliver religious music cassettes at commendably cheap prices. This is not the end; he also got involved in producing serials and movies relating to Hindu mythology. Kumar’s debut film in Bollywood named “Lal Dupatta Malmal Ka” was a super hit. Later the film “Aashiqui” came; it is still considered as a great in harmonious music.
