Sundeep Kishan is an Indian actor and producer who works mainly in Telugu and Tamil films. After debuting in Prasthanam (2010), he broke through with Venkatadri Express and Gundello Godari (2013), and later found success with the Tamil films Maanagaram (2017) and Raayan (2024) and the Telugu film Gully Rowdy (2021).

He was born on 7 May 1987, according to Wikipedia and Wikidata, into a Telugu family in Madras (now Chennai). He is a nephew of the cinematographers Chota K. Naidu and Shyam K. Naidu, and moved to Hyderabad in 2008 to work in films.

Career

He worked as an assistant director to Gautham Vasudev Menon for a year before acting in Sneha Geetham and Deva Katta’s Prasthanam (2010). Katta recommended him to Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K., who cast him in the Hindi film Shor in the City (2011). Routine Love Story (2012) and D for Dopidi (2013) followed.

Venkatadri Express, opposite Rakul Preet Singh, was a commercial success, and Gundello Godari earned him a Filmfare nomination for Best Supporting Actor – Telugu (The Times of India). His Telugu films over the next few years include Joru and Ra Ra Krishnayya (2014), Beeruva and Tiger (2015), Run and Okka Ammayi Thappa (2016), Samanthakamani and Nakshatram (2017), and Next Enti (2018), several of which were poorly received.

His career turned in 2017 with the Tamil films Maanagaram, opposite Regina Cassandra, and Maayavan. He turned producer with Ninu Veedani Needanu Nene (2019) and A1 Express (2021), starred in Tenali Ramakrishna BA. BL (2019) and Gully Rowdy, and appeared in the series The Family Man (2019). After the Telugu action thriller Michael (2023), he had three releases in 2024: Captain Miller with Dhanush, Ooru Peru Bhairavakona, in which he played a stunt double, and Raayan, his highest-grossing film. In 2025 he played Rao Ramesh’s son in Mazaka, which failed at the box office.

Outside films, he owns the Vivaha Bhojanambhu restaurant chain in Hyderabad.
