Personal life and career
Anu Krishna is from a Malayali family in Chennai. She made her acting debut as a child actress, notably appearing in Bapu's Mahabhagavatham television series as Krishna, and then in Friends (2001) as the sister of Vijay's character. Anu Krishna made a career breakthrough as an actress with her appearance in AR Murugadoss's Kaththi (2014), where she again portrayed the sister of Vijay's character. In the mid-2010s, she appeared in a number of small budget roles as the lead actress including Chinnan Chiriya Vanna Paravai (2014) and Ilaignar Paasarai (2015). She notably was cast in the title role of a tribal villager in Ilami (2016), appearing alongside Yuvan in the film based on jallikattu. A critic from the Deccan Chronicle noted that she had "given a decent performance and was aptly cast", while a reviewer from Times of India gave the film a mixed review. She also appeared in supporting roles in films such as Inba Twinkle Lilly (2018) and 60 Vayadu Maaniram (2018).
In 2018, she appeared in Alai Pesi by Murali Bharathi. She later signed on to star in a film titled Kooli Padai by the same team, though the film did not have a theatrical release. Several other films that she worked on during the late 2010s, including Kottampatti Thodakka Palli, Eruma, Venkat Subramani Mic Set 123 and Kaliru, were completed but did not eventually release.
In 2023, her upcoming films include Pitha, the biopic Sri Ramanujam and Eerattam.
