Saiju Kurup is now Aniruddh

Young actor Saiju Kurup, who is debuting in Kollywood with Puthiya Vaarpukal directed by the veteran Bhagyaraj, has chosen a new screen name for Kollywood and Mollywood. This name is Aniruddh.

In Puthiya Vaarpukal, Saiju alias Aniruddh will appear in a meaty role -- that of a police officer and encounter specialist named Rock Razack. Bhagyaraj's son Santhanu is the hero. Most of the shooting is complete.

The actor has completed another Malayalam movie Brahmaastharam directed by Benny Ashamsa, in which he plays as a cop. Now, he is to join the sets of his first Hindi movie The White Elephant to be directed by Ejas Ahamed.
