<br />
== Career ==<br />
He made his film debut with [[B. Narsing Rao]]'s award-winning film ''[[Daasi (1988 film)|Daasi]]'' (1988); but the film failed to give him a breakthrough as an actor. He landed the role in ''Daasi'' after he met Devipriya, one of the screenplay writers for ''Daasi''. Devipriya recommended him to Narsing Rao.<ref name="D"/> In 2013, he began directing a documentary titled ''Waiting for Death'' about the impact of fluorosis on people living in his hometown of [[Nalgonda]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/telugu/2013/mar/05/man-with-a-cause-455713.html|title=Man with a cause|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref> Twenty-five years after ''Daasi'', he was signed to play the role of [[Chintakindi Mallesham]]'s father in ''[[Mallesham]]'' (2019).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/ananda-chakrapani-is-elated-with-mallesham-reponse/article28347816.ece|title=‘Mallesham’ actor Ananda Chakrapani lauded after a 25-year-wait|first=Y. Sunita|last=Chowdhary|date=July 10, 2019|work=The Hindu}}</ref> He received the role after [[Laxman Aelay]], the production designer for ''Mallesham'', suggested his name to the director Raj. Since Raj was in the United States at the time, the audition was conducted by his assistant. Although Ananda Chakrapani was unsuccessful in his initial audition, he requested for a second audition and was selected by Raj's assistant.<ref name="D">{{Cite web|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/tollywood/030719/ananda-chakrapanis-second-innings.html|title=Ananda Chakrapani’s second innings|first=Suresh|last=Kavirayani|date=July 3, 2019|website=Deccan Chronicle}}</ref> His performance in ''Mallesham'' enabled him to receive further film offers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/tollywood/110220/its-raining-offers-for-chakrapani.html|title=It’s raining offers for Chakrapani!|first=Suresh|last=Kaviraani|date=February 11, 2020|website=Deccan Chronicle}}</ref><ref name="అదే నా జీవితాన్ని మలుపు తిప్పింది.. లైఫ్లో ఊహించని ఆఫర్లు.. ఆనంద చక్రపాణి ఉద్వేగం">{{cite web |last1=తెలుగు ఫిల్మీబీట్ |first1=ఇంటర్వ్యూలు |title=అదే నా జీవితాన్ని మలుపు తిప్పింది.. లైఫ్లో ఊహించని ఆఫర్లు.. ఆనంద చక్రపాణి ఉద్వేగం |url=https://telugu.filmibeat.com/interviews/ananda-chakrapani-interview-mallesham-movie-changed-my-life/articlecontent-pf162897-083332.html |website=www.telugu.filmibeat.com |publisher=A Rajababu |accessdate=18 August 2020 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20200818051227/https://telugu.filmibeat.com/interviews/ananda-chakrapani-interview-mallesham-movie-changed-my-life-083332.html |archivedate=18 August 2020 |language=te |date=4 January 2020}}</ref><ref name="ఎంత బాగా చేసిండ్రు అన్నారు">{{cite news |last1=సాక్షి |first1=సినిమా |title=ఎంత బాగా చేసిండ్రు అన్నారు |url=https://www.sakshi.com/news/movies/chakrapani-interview-about-chintakindi-mallesham-1204237 |accessdate=26 August 2020 |date=6 July 2019 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190705214317/https://www.sakshi.com/news/movies/chakrapani-interview-about-chintakindi-mallesham-1204237 |archivedate=5 July 2019}}</ref><br />
