Son of an affluent business family in United Arab Emirates Larry is rechristened as Rohith according to his sign Taurus for his first Kannada film ‘Ellellu Neene Nannallu Neene’ that went on the floor on his dad’s 58th birthday on August 18. Rohith played the violin among 30 others for the song recording shot arranged by Dr Richard Castellino who is making debut in Kannada as director. Castellino had directed films in Tulu, Konkani and Kodava the other three recognized languages won state, national and international recognitions. It is for the first time he is picking a Kannada film.

He came to Mangalore for three years BBM degree from St Aloysius College. Looking after the shipping freight forwarding business for six years Larry is new to acting. In school and colleges he had not taken part in any cultural activities. First he was spooted by a family friend and introduced to Dr.Richard Castellino.
