Hari Baskar

Biography

Hari Baskar (also stylized as “Hari Bhaskar”) is an Indian content creator, actor, and comedian best known for his work with the Tamil YouTube sketch channel Jump Cuts. He co-founded Jump Cuts alongside Naresh Dillibabu in 2016, producing humorous, socially rooted sketches that blend situational comedy with everyday themes. Over the years, Hari has played leading roles in many of their popular videos (for example in Black Tea). In 2025, Hari made his feature film debut as the male lead in Mr. Housekeeping, a Tamil romantic comedy directed by Arun Ravichandran. On set, he leveraged his improvisational experience from YouTube sketches, contributing ideas and spontaneous lines to bring comic moments to life. As he has noted in interviews, transitioning from short-form digital content to film required adjusting his approach to storytelling, pacing, and character development. Beyond acting, Hari continues to maintain a strong presence online. He shares content across platforms, uses his social media (e.g. Instagram) for updates and engagement, and remains connected to his digital roots.
