For the uninitiated, Anand turned director with Kanaa Kanden, and his film Ayan starring Suriya became a huge commercial success. His other popular films include Mudhalavan and Sivaji (as cinematographer), Ko, Maattrraan and Kavan (as director). He had also received National Film Award for Best Cinematography in 1995 for Malayalam film Thenmavin Kombath, which was also his debut project. Not only in south, he had also worked in Hindi cinema and cranked the camera for movies like Shah Rukh Khan's Josh, Anil Kapoor's Nayak, Khakee, etc.
