Meet Janaki V V/S State Of Kerala Actress Anupama Parameswaran, Break From Acting, Viral Kissing Pic

Anupama Parmeswaran is one of the most talented actresses in the Malayalam film industry. The actress gained wide recognition after her debut film, Premam, in 2015. Born in Irinjalakuda, Anupama studied Communicative English at CMS College, Kottayam. However, she discontinued her college studies to pursue a career in acting.

Anupama is currently leading the headlines after her much-awaited film, Janaki V V/S State Of Kerala, received censor board approval for release. The film has been subject to a legal dispute after the Central Board of Film Certification declined to certify it. The use of the name Janaki for the lead character was considered insensitive, as the name was associated with the goddess Sita.

The initial title of the film, Janaki v/s State of Kerala, was revised to Janaki V v/s State of Kerala, and the film was released on July 17, 2025. Produced by J. Phanindra Kumar, the film stars Anupama Parmeswaran in the lead role, playing the character of Janaki Vidhyadharan.
