Anoop Menon (born 3 August 1976) is an Indian film actor, director, screenwriter and lyricist. He worked in television before finding success as an actor in Malayalam films.

Menon won the Kerala State Film Award for Best Supporting Actor and also the Filmfare Award for his performance as the fictional movie star Ajayachandran in Thirakkatha. He wrote the screenplay and dialogue for films such as Pakal Nakshatrangal (2008), Cocktail (2010), Beautiful (2011), Trivandrum Lodge (2012), and Hotel California (2013).[3] Actress Shweta Menon is his cousin.[4]

Personal life[]

He was born on 3 August 1976 to P. Gangadharan Nair and Indira Menon in Kozhikode.[5] He grew up in Thiruvananthapuram. He is a law graduate from Government Law College, Thiruvananthapuram (1994 – 99) and was the first-rank holder from Kerala University.[6] During this period, he used to do compèring for Kairali TV and Surya TV.[7] He met fellow filmmaker and screenplay writer Shankar Ramakrishnan during this time. Both of them were under the tutelage of renowned malayalam director Ranjith. Anoop married Shema Alexander on 27 December 2014. This is Shema's second marriage. Her first husband died of heart attack in 2006. She has a daughter born in 2002.[2][8][9]

Career[]

He began his acting career in Malayalam television serials. He became popular for his roles in two popular series on Asianet called Swapnam and Megham, the former one directed by K. K. Rajeev. Anoop made his debut as a screenwriter in Pakal Nakshatrangal with Mohanlal playing father and Anoop playing his son.[10]

He also played main character in Thirakkatha by Ranjith, portraying different stages in the life of film star Ajay Chandran, loosely based on the personal life of Kamal Hassan. His co-stars were Priyamani and Prithviraj.[11]

Beautiful (2011), was Anoop Menon's debut work as a lyricist. Menon says his debut as a lyricist was quite accidental. "On the second day of the shooting of Beautiful, music director Rateesh Vega, actor Jayasurya, and I were chilling out in Rateesh's car, when he asked me to pen some lines to try out a tune he'd composed for the film. The result is Mazhaneer Thullikal...," says the actor.
