One of his documentary - 'Raise of hope'[4] was done for kidney related diseases and its awareness, with the help and support of Dr. Jayant Thomas Mathew (Nephrologist in Amala Institute of Medical Sciences) and Sunny Viswanath. During this time, Anoop did minor roles in cinemas like Sarvopari Palakkaran(2017) directed by Venugopan, Ennaalum Sarath..? (2018) directed by Balachandra Menon and Contessa directed by Sudip E.S (2018). He was a male lead character in known commercial movie called Ammamarathanalil (2017) directed by Jibin George James.

He turned a household name with his lead character ‘Kalyan’ in this television show and his on-screen chemistry with actress Dhanya Mary Varghese is widely appreciated as well.[7] He, alongside actress Dhanya Mary Varghese, received the Asianet Television Award for the best pair .
