INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Anand Deverakonda is a talented Indian actor who has carved a niche for himself in the Telugu film industry. Born and raised in the vibrant city of Hyderabad, Telangana, he shares a close bond with his elder brother, Vijay Deverakonda, who is also a well-known actor. Growing up, Anand was surrounded by a love for cinema, cultivated by their father, who would often bring home DVDs of both English and world cinema. This early exposure ignited a passion for acting in Anand, and he soon found himself drawn to the performing arts. His journey began in earnest when, after completing his schooling, he joined a local theatre group named Sutradhar in Hyderabad, honing his craft and deepening his appreciation for the dramatic arts.
While pursuing his passion for acting, Anand also embarked on a professional career. In May 2013, he took his first steps into the corporate world as a trainee at GMR Aero Technic in Hyderabad. This initial experience was followed by a stint as a business development intern at ‘At Speak Eazy,’ a personality development school founded by his mother. By October of the same year, he transitioned to Amazon Development Centre as a senior associate, further advancing his career before relocating to Chicago to work as a consultant for Deloitte. Here, he spent over two years, balancing his burgeoning corporate life with his aspirations in the arts.
Anand’s breakthrough moment in the film industry came in 2020 when he made a striking debut in the Telugu film ‘Dorasaani,’ earning the Zine Cine Award for Best Male Debut. This recognition marked a significant turning point in his career, allowing him to showcase his talent in subsequent films such as ‘Middle Class Melodies’ (2020), ‘Pushpaka Vimanam’ (2021), and ‘Highway’ (2022). Throughout this whirlwind of success, Anand has remained grounded, often reflecting on the support he received from his brother Vijay during challenging times in his early career. Vijay has publicly acknowledged Anand’s financial backing while he was struggling to make a name for himself in the acting world, a testament to their strong familial bond.
Outside of acting, Anand enjoys a vibrant social life, often spotted at parties and events, where he is known to indulge in a drink or two. His personal life reveals a lighter side as well; he is an avid sports enthusiast who enjoys playing cricket and listening to music in his free time. Anand is also a devoted dog lover, sharing his home with two beloved pets, Storm and Chester. His Instagram frequently features adorable snapshots of his dogs, capturing the joy they bring to his life. As Anand Deverakonda continues to evolve in his career and personal life, he remains a promising figure in the Telugu film industry, embodying the passion and dedication that his upbringing instilled in him.
