Personal life
He was born on 3 August 1976 to P. Gangadharan Nair and Indira Menon in Kozhikode.[5] He grew up in Thiruvananthapuram. He is a law graduate from Government Law College, Thiruvananthapuram (1994-1999) and was the first-rank holder from Kerala University.[6] During this period, he used to do compering for Kairali TV and Surya TV.[7] Anoop married Shema Alexander on 27 Dec 2014. This is Shema's second marriage. Her first husband died of heart attack in 2006. She has an adopted daughter born in 1998. [2][8][9]
Career
He began his acting career in Malayalam television serials. He became popular for his roles in two popular series on Asianet called Swapnam and Megham, the former one directed by K. K. Rajeev. Anoop made his debut as a screenwriter in Pakal Nakshatrangal with Mohanlal playing father and Anoop playing his son.[10]
He also played main character in Thirakkatha by Ranjith, portraying different stages in the life of film star Ajay Chandran, loosely based on the personal life of Kamal Hassan. His co-stars were Priyamani and Prithviraj.[11]
Beautiful is a 2011 Malayalam thriller film written by Anoop Menon and directed by V. K. Prakash. The film stars Jayasurya, Anoop Menon and Meghana Raj in the lead roles. It tells the story about the intense bonding of two friends, one paraplegic and other a musician. The film released on 2 December 2011 and became a huge success. Beautiful was Anoop Menon's debut work as a lyricist. Menon says his debut as a lyricist was quite accidental. "On the second day of the shooting of Beautiful, music director Rateesh Vega, actor Jayasurya, and I were chilling out in Rateesh's car, when he asked me to pen some lines to try out a tune he'd composed for the film. The result is Mazhaneer Thullikal...," says the actor.
