Anishma Anilkumar

Anishma Anilkumar—yeah, that’s a name you won’t soon forget if you’re into Malayalam cinema. Born in 1999, right in the heart of Kattakkada, Trivandrum, she’s the daughter of Anilkumar and Sumadevi. Not just a pretty face either; Anishma wrapped up her B. Tech at Lourdes Matha College of Science and Technology in 2021. No small feat, especially when you’re juggling textbooks and the dream of making it big on the silver screen. Let’s talk movies. Her first ever role? That was in “Poovan” (2023), directed by Vineeth Vasudevan. She played Sini, and honestly, she didn’t come off like a rookie at all. There’s something refreshing about her vibe—like she’s not forcing anything, just living out the character. People noticed. The industry noticed. You know how some actors just have that thing? She’s got it. She’s not stopping, either. Her next project, “I Am Kadhalan,” is helmed by Girish. A. D., and fans are already buzzing even though it’s still in post-production. No word yet on the release date, but if her debut is anything to go by, she’ll probably steal the show again. It’s wild to think she’s only a couple movies in and already carving her space in Malayalam cinema. If you’re looking to keep an eye on someone who might just blow up in the next few years, Anishma’s your girl.
