V. N. Anoop Kumar is a former Indian actor who has appeared in Tamil and Telugu films. He made his debut in the 2006 film, Vattaram directed by Saran.[2]
Career
[edit]Anoop is the grandson of Telugu film director V. Madhusudhana Rao. He is originally from Vijayawada and grew up in Chennai.[2] He learned dance at The Swingers in Chennai and also taught there.[3] Director Saran launched Anoop in the Tamil film Vattaram, where he played a character role in love with Vasundhara Kashyap's character.[4] Thereafter, Anoop produced a film, Kathi Kappal, in which he played the lead role. The film, which featured him alongside Meera Vasudevan, won poor reviews with a critic noting "after a point, his scruffy face makes you want to shake him out of misery".[5] He then signed on to play a role in Keka, a Telugu film and then also appeared in a second lead role in Chikku Bukku with Arya and Shriya Saran.[3][6]
In 2014, he starred in the Tamil film Marumugam co-starring Daniel Balaji, and the Telugu films Jabilli Kosam Aakashamalle and Ninnu Chusi Vennele Anukunna, the latter of which remains unreleased.[7][8][9][10][11]
