Career
Anoop is the grandson of Telugu film director V. Madhusudhana Rao. He is originally from Vijayawada and grew up in Chennai.[1] He learned dance at The Swingers in Chennai and also taught there. Director Saran launched Anoop in the Tamil film Vattaram, where he played a character role in love with Vasundhara Kashyap's character.[2] 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".[3] 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.[4] [5]
In 2014, he starred in the Tamil film Marumugam co-starring Daniel Balaji, and the Telugu film Jabilli Kosam Aakashamalle.[6] [7] [8] [9]
