Personal life and career

Anu Krishna made a career breakthrough as an actress with her appearance in AR Murugadoss's Kaththi (2014), where she again portrayed the sister of Vijay's character.[1] In the mid-2010s, she appeared in a number of small budget roles as the lead actress including Chinnan Chiriya Vanna Paravai (2014) and Ilaignar Paasarai (2015).[2] She notably was cast in the title role of a tribal villager in Ilami (2016), appearing alongside Yuvan in the film based on jallikattu.[3][4][5] A critic from the Deccan Chronicle noted that she had "given a decent performance and was aptly cast", while a reviewer from Times of India gave the film a mixed review.[6][7] She also appeared in supporting roles in films such as Inba Twinkle Lilly (2018) and 60 Vayadu Maaniram (2018).
In 2018, she appeared in Alai Pesi by Murali Bharathi.[8] She later signed on to star in a film titled Kooli Padai by the same team, though the film did not have a theatrical release.[9] Several other films that she worked on during the late 2010s, including Kottampatti Thodakka Palli, Eruma, Venkat Subramani Mic Set 123 and Kaliru, were completed but did not eventually release.[10][11]
