Anupama Parameswaran, the beloved South Indian actress, is celebrating her 29th birthday today, February 18, 2025. Known for her versatile performances across Malayalam, Telugu, and Tamil films, Parameswaran has made significant strides since her debut.
Born on February 18, 1996, to a Malayali family in Thrissur, Anupama captivated audiences with her first major role as Mary George in the blockbuster film Premam (2015). The coming-of-age romance directed by Alphonse Puthren showcased her talent, even though her role was brief.
Following Premam, Anupama starred in several films, displaying her range and adaptability. One of her notable performances was in Shatamanam Bhavati (2017), where she played Nithya, the daughter of a joint family who falls for her cousin Raju. The film, which tackled the clash between traditional and modern familial roles, received praise from critics and audiences alike.
Another highlight of her career came with Hello Guru Prema Kosame (2018). Starring alongside Ram Pothineni, Parameswaran's role of the city girl involved in romantic confusions added charm to this enemies-to-lovers trope.
Her versatility continued to shine through projects like Rakshasudu (2019), where she featured opposite Bellamkonda Sreenivas, and 18 Pages (2022), which explored complex themes of modernity and traditionalism. Anupama’s character, who used a diary to navigate life, brought depth to the film's narrative.
A standout role came with the thriller Karthikeya 2 (2022), where Anupama played Mugdha, embarking on adventures alongside Dr. Karthik as they searched for Lord Krishna’s lost anklet.
Looking forward, Parameswaran has multiple projects lined up, showcasing her ambition to keep crafting her narrative within the South Indian film industry. With films such as Paradha, JSK, Pet Detective, Bison, and Dragon slated for release in 2025, fans have much to anticipate.
Bison, directed by Mari Selvaraj, recently wrapped up filming and is positioned as a period sports drama revolving around kabaddi, featuring Dhruv Vikram as the lead alongside Anupama and Rajisha Vijayan. The film's shoot took place around Tirunelveli and Chennai, garnering attention for its intriguing premise. Selvaraj celebrated the completion of the shoot by sharing, "All those days of tireless work, undying efforts and infinite support have wrapped up together."
