Anand is an Indian actor who works predominantly in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam films along with a few Kannada films. He has also acted in several Malayalam TV shows.

The actor's biggest film till date is Mani Ratnam's black comedy film Thiruda Thiruda (1993), but unlike his co-stars of that film, it failed to translate into a breakthrough for him. He has also played second lead roles and supporting characters in several films including Kamal Haasan's Sathyaa and Vijayakanth's Poonthotta Kaavalkaaran.[1]

Early and personal life

Anand was born in Hyderabad as the youngest of four sons. His father V. S. Bharathi, worked for Brooke Bond India Ltd, and his mother Rajalakshmi is a house wife. His brothers are B. Ramesh, a Vice President of Finance with Times of India, Dr. B. Suresh, a teacher at English Vivekananda College, and Bharat Arun, a former Indian cricketer and now bowling coach for Indian cricket team. Anand also owns a restaurant named Zenzerro in Thiruvananthapuram.[2]

Anand has been married to actress Poornima since 2002.

Career

He made his film debut in 1987 with Vanna Kanavugal.[3][4] He is best known for his works in films such as Sathya (1988), Anbe En Anbe (1988), Apoorva Sagodharargal (1989), Oor Mariyadhai (1992), Thalaivasal (1992), and Thiruda Thiruda (1993), screened at the Toronto International Film Festival.[5][6]

His works as a character actor include hits such as 1: Nenokkadine (2014), Ring Master (2014), Ivan Maryadaraman (2015), Srimanthudu (2015), and Gentleman (2016).[7]

In 2000, the actor was involved in a drunk driving hit-and-run case, where he hit a police officer who had tried to stop him. The police officer, Ramachandran, subsequently died due to his injuries and the actor faced a murder charge.[3] The actor made a financial settlement with the victim's family.[4] Later he was acquitted.

His house in Uthandi, Chennai was burgled in 2008 and the actor cited that it was an "inside job".[7]
