Perspective
Sanjay Vellanki went to acting school before making his debut as a lead actor with Kadante Avunanile (2005) under the stage name of Vamsi Krishna.[1][2] He went on to play supporting roles in several Telugu films including Parugu (2008), where he played Poonam Bajwa's lover, with whom she elopes.
He made his Tamil debut with the romantic drama Mundhinam Paartheney (2010).[3] To prepare for his role of a software professional, he lost ten kilograms.[1] His performance was well received with a critic noting that "New face Sanjay delivers a low-key yet elegant performance as Sanju, giving his co-star all the room to shine".[4][5][6] He then starred in another romantic film Doo (2011).[7] Regarding his performance, a critic wrote that "Sanjay lends conviction to his role, and is comfortable in the fight-dance sequence also".[8][9][10][11] Although Mundhinam Partheney and Doo released to above average reviews, both films were box office failures.[12] His next film Eppodhum Vendraan (2014) had a low-key release and the film Theriyum Aanal Theriyathu was never released.[13][12]
He then worked on many short films including Bhoomi (2021).[14] He played the second hero in the film Kabadi Bro, which released after a four year delay in 2023.[15]
