'''Anandaraj''' (born: May 15, 1959) is an Indian actor. He has acted in villain roles in several [[Tamil films]] and has appeared in over a two hundred films in different languages including Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://nettv4u.com/celebrity/tamil/movie-actor/anandaraj|title=Kollywood Movie Actor Anandaraj Biography, News, Photos, Videos|website=nettv4u}}</ref>

==Career==

Anandaraj was born and brought up in [[Pondicherry]]. His father was a businessman. After schooling, he wanted his son to be a police officer, but Anandaraj wanted to try something different as he was fascinated with films. His family supported his dreams. He joined in [[M.G.R. Government Film and Television Training Institute]], [[Chennai]] for a course. [[Cinema of Karnataka|Kannada]] actor [[Shiva Rajkumar]] was his classmate.

Anandaraj was under the impression that offers would come his way, but later he had to struggle for an opportunity and finally started off with the 1988 film ''[[Oruvar Vaazhum Aalayam]]'', starring [[Prabhu (actor)|Prabhu]] and [[Sivakumar]], and later ''[[En Thangachi Padichava]]'', directed by [[P. Vasu]], gave him the much-needed break in all the four south Indian languages.<ref name="AnandRaj">{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movies/news/My-wife-is-happy-that-I-am-a-villain-Anand-Raj/articleshow/45098013.cms|title=My wife is happy that I am a villain Anand Raj|work=The Times of India|date=2014-11-11|access-date=2014-11-12}}</ref> He did [[Suresh Krissna]]’s ''[[Raja Kaiya Vacha]]'' (1990) with [[Prabhu (actor)|Prabhu]], in which he essayed a positive role. However, he appeared with [[Vijayakanth]] and starred in several films together.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/stories/interviews/2018/nov/11/films-are-too-hero-centric-these-days-8709.html|title="Films are too hero-centric these days"|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>

On playing the hero roles, Anand Raj mentioned: "When one gets popular being a villain, people around you always push you to take the next step and it was one of those phases when I took up offers to play the lead role". He went on to play lead roles in the films ''[[Palaivana Paravaigal]]'', ''[[Kaaval Nilayam]]'', ''Thambi Oorukku Puthusu'', ''[[Government Mappillai]]'', ''[[Pokkiri Thambi]]'', ''Kizhakku Veluthathchu'', ''[[David Uncle]]'', ''[[En Rajangam]]'', ''[[Puthiya Aatchi]]'' and ''My India''. Even though directors offered him good scripts, the films just didn't work well at the box office.<ref name=AnandRaj/><ref name="news">{{Citation|last=M. K. Megan|title=Graduating from acting as crook to hero|newspaper=[[New Straits Times]]|date=2 October 1992|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=nllPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=GZADAAAAIBAJ&hl=fr&pg=4302%2C779516|access-date=17 January 2013}}</ref> The huge popularity that Anandaraj gained during the late eighties elevated him to the status of hero and he and [[R. Sarathkumar]] together starred in a few action films. While Sarathkumar hit stardom, Anandaraj who was billed above him in their films together did not sustain his position and went back to playing small roles. He has acted as a villain alongside most of the top actors, like [[Nandamuri Balakrishna|Balakrishna]] (''[[Muddula Mavayya]]''), [[Vijayakanth]] (''[[Pulan Visaranai]]''), [[Chiranjeevi]] (''[[Gang Leader]]'') [[Rajnikanth]] (''[[Baashha]]''), [[Mammootty]] (''[[Makkal Aatchi]]''), [[R. Sarathkumar]] (''[[Suryavamsam (1997 film)|Suryavamsam]]'') and [[Vijay (actor)|Vijay]] (''[[Pokkiri]]'').

Many years later, Anandaraj made a sudden switch to comedy in ''[[Mundasupatti]]'' directed by Ramkumar released in 2014 that had audiences falling off their seats and there had been no looking back since then. Anandaraj has become a hot favorite of young directors who write quirky characters for him which he performs with his signature style that has gained him a huge fan following in the younger generation of movie goers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/happy-birthday-anandaraj-special-article-tamil-news-273749|title=Happy Birthday Ananadaraj from terrifying villain to hilarious comedian - Tamil News|date=10 November 2020|website=IndiaGlitz.com}}</ref>

Director [[Prabhu Deva]] offered Anandaraj the lead in the role and asked him not to react to anything, even though a baddie is expected to give exaggerated expressions. [[Prabhu Deva]] wanted Anandaraj to sport a certain look, so he underwent intense training for a year and lost about 12 kilos and fulfilled Prabhu Deva's expectation to get signed for ''[[Action Jackson (2014 film)|Action Jackson]]'' (2014). He played a don in the film and his look was completely different from the one he had tried in the south, as he spots a lizard tattoo on his head.<ref name=AnandRaj/>

He joined [[Vijay Sethupathi]] and [[Nayanthara]] starrer ''[[Naanum Rowdydhaan]]'' (2015). Though Anandaraj doesn’t play the main antagonist role, his character will have shades of grey.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.onlykollywood.com/anandaraj-joins-naanum-rowdy-thaan/|title=Anandaraj joins Naanum Rowdy Thaan|date=2 January 2015|website=Only Kollywood}}</ref> In ''[[Maragadha Naanayam]]'' (2017), he plays a character called Twinkle Ramanathan. His other films include ''[[Katha Nayagan (2017 film)|Katha Nayagan]]'' (2017), ''[[Sathya (2017 Tamil film)|Sathya]]'' (2017) and ''[[Gulaebaghavali]]'' (2018). He’s almost perfected the role of the comic villain.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/stories/interviews/2017/jun/18/the-villain-who-isnt-634.html|title=The villain who isn't: Anandraj|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref> For the film ''[[Jackpot (2019 film)|Jackpot]]'' (2019), Anandaraj received Best comedian from [[Ananda Vikatan Cinema Awards|Vikatan]]. He played a role in ''[[Bigil]]'' (2019) has expressed his disappointment over the filmmaker for the way he approached his character in the film in post production.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.chennaimemes.in/actor-anand-raj-regrets-for-acting-in-bigil-watch/|title=Actor Anand Raj Regrets For Acting In “BIGIL” !!

==Personal life==

Anandaraj was born in [[Pondicherry|Puducherry]] and is the second son in the family of eight.<ref>https://nettv4u.com/celebrity/tamil/movie-actor/anandaraj</ref> He is married and has a daughter and a son.

== Politics ==
Actor Anandraj is a loyalite of [[J. Jayalalithaa|Jayalalitha]] and has joined [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam|ADMK]] under her leadership. He supported [[Bharatiya Janata Party|BJP]] and stated that he will personally vote for the party on 2014. After Jayalalitha's death he quitted ADMK. He later said Mudaliar community should vote for [[None of the above|NOTA]].
