Anaswara Rajan, whose recent performance in the Telugu film Champion won acclaim, is all set to be seen in the Tamil film With Love, which marks the debut of Tourist Family director Abishan Jeevinth as a leading
actor. The actress who began her film journey in the Malayalam film industry, is known for her grounded screen presence. In the film With Love Anaswara Rajan will be seen in a romantic film for the first time in Kollywood. Read on to know more details of the actress, and more information about her first Tamil film.
Who Is Anaswara Rajan?
Anaswara Rajan (born 8 September 2002) is an actress who predominantly works in Malayalam cinema. She began her acting journey as a child artist with
Udaharanam Sujatha (2017), playing Athira,
the rebellious daughter of Manju Warrier’s character. Born to Rajan and Usha in Karivellur, near Payyanur in Kannur district, Kerala Anaswara completed her schooling at St. Mary’s Girls High School, Payyanur. Balancing academics with an early film career was not easy, a phase she later revealed came with its own emotional challenges.
Challenges Anaswara Rajan Faced to Become an Actress
In an interview, Anaswara spoke about the difficulties she faced during her school years due to early fame. She shared that being recognized as a film actor often led to differential treatment from some teachers. At times, when she did not perform well in exams, she was told that studies were unnecessary since she already had films. Such comments, she admitted, deeply affected her and caused emotional distress at a young age. Despite this, Anaswara believes these early struggles helped her develop emotional strength. She said that experiencing emotional breakdowns early in life made her more resilient, allowing her to handle pressures with clarity later on.
Anaswara rose to prominence with her first leading role in
Thanneer Mathan Dinangal (2019), a coming-of-age drama that became a sleeper hit and established her as a promising young actor. She later earned widespread acclaim for her performances in Super Sharanya (2022) and Neru (2024).
