Sundeep Kishan

Sundeep Kishan was born in a Telugu family in present-day Chennai. He is the nephew to the cinematographers Chota K. Naidu and Shyam K. Naidu. He moved to Hyderabad in 2008 to pursue a career in films.

Kishan worked as assistant director to Gautham Vasudev Menon for a year, before starring in Sneha Geetham.

After working with him in Prasthanam (2010), director Deva Katta referred Kishan to his friends Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K., which led to Kishan's casting in his first Hindi venture, Shor in the City.

He has also acted in Venkatadri Express (2013) and Ra Ra... Krishnayya (2014). Kishan stated that he was happy since his 2015 released film Tiger was appreciated by actors like Ravi Teja and Allu Arjun. After the Tamil film Maanagaram, Sundeep signed for his next project titled Nenjil Thunivirundhal, directed by Suseenthiran.

Sundeep played the role of Major Vikram in the Indian action drama web series The Family Man (2019). Later, Michael (2023) failed at the box office.

In 2024, Ooru Peru Bhairavakona has received mixed reviews and was praised for Sundeep Kishan's acting and it was close to break-even in collections. He collaborated with Dhanush in Captain Miller and Raayan.
