Mean Girls star Rajiv Surendra has shared the reason why he left Hollywood.
The former actor, famously known for playing the role of rapping mathlete Kevin Gnapoor in Mean Girls, left the industry because he wasn’t selected as the lead in Ang Lee’s Life of Pi.
“While we were shooting Mean Girls during my first year of college, I found out they were turning Life of Pi into a film,” Surendra told GQ.
“I was determined to get that part. So I dropped out of college to go to the little town in India where the book takes place so that I could do some in-depth research.”
However, the film lost its first director and the project was put on hold. So Surendra went back to college.
“I used college as an excuse. I’m just going to wait until they are getting Life of Pi ready and...

Millennial moviegoers may not recognize the name Rajiv Surendra, but they certainly know Kevin Gnapoor. Surendra starred as the hormonal Mathletes president (with a flair for rapping) in Tina Fey’s “Mean Girls,” becoming one of the film’s most quotable supporting characters. But what ever happened to Surendra in real life? GQ magazine recently caught up with him 19 years after “Mean Girls.” Surendra revealed that he tried to stick with acting post-“Mean Girls” by nabbing the lead role in Ang Lee’s “Life of Pi,” but it ended disastrously.
“While we were shooting ‘Mean Girls’ during my first year of college, I found out they were turning ‘The Life of Pi’ into a film. I was determined to get that part,” Surendra said. “So I dropped out of college to go to the little town in India where the book takes place so that I could do some in-depth research.
