Naveen Chandra is an actor from India, primarily known for his work in Telugu films, though he has also dabbled in Tamil cinema. He stepped into the spotlight in 2006 with his leading role in the Telugu film Sambhavami Yuge Yuge, adopting the stage name Anji. Following that, he appeared in Kalyanam, using the name Chandu. His Tamil debut came with Pazhaniappa Kalloori, where he was credited as Pradeep. Unfortunately, his subsequent project, Agarathi, did not make it to theaters.
In 2012, he received acclaim for his performance as Surya in the Telugu film Andala Rakshasi, which was well-received by both audiences and critics. That same year, he worked on the Tamil movie Therodum Veedhiyile alongside Payal Ghosh. Chandra took on a challenging role in the bilingual film Dalam, portraying an ex-naxalite attempting to reintegrate into society. To prepare for his character in Sathyashiva’s Sivappu, he spent two weeks living incognito as a laborer at a friend’s construction site; this film was also released in 2014.
He later took on a significant supporting role in the Tamil film Brahman and was cast as the lead in Sarabam, produced by C.V. Kumar. His career continued with an appearance in Miss India, featuring Keerthy Suresh and directed by Narendra Nath. In 2023, he played important roles in Month of Madhu and Jigarthanda DoubleX. Looking ahead, he is set to star in an upcoming untitled project produced by UV Creations, where he will share the screen with Rashi Singh.
