Anaswara Rajan

As Athira, the rebellious daughter of Manju Warrier's title character in Udaharanam Sujatha (2017), Anaswara Rajan made her first screen appearance. Born on 8 September 2002, she is from Karivellur, near Payyanur in Kannur district, and studied at St. Mary's Girls' High School, Payyanur. Thanneer Mathan Dinangal (2019), her first lead and a sleeper hit, made her widely known. That same year she played both mother and daughter in Adhyarathri. Malayalam is her main language, with Tamil and Telugu projects alongside. Super Sharanya (2022), in which she was the engineering student of the title, was a commercial success, and Raangi gave her a Tamil debut that year. Thugs and her Hindi debut Yaariyan 2 came in 2023, and so did Neru, where she played Sara, a blind sculptor, opposite Mohanlal. That role was her breakthrough and won her the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress – Malayalam. Abraham Ozler and Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil (2024) were box-office successes, and in Rekhachithram (2025), the first Malayalam blockbuster of that year, she played the title character, Rekha Pathrose. Champion (2025) was her Telugu debut, and the Tamil romantic comedy With Love followed in 2026.
