Anand directed Tamil films like Ayan, Ko, Kana Kandaen, Maattrraan, Kaappaan, Anegan and Kavan. In the initial days of his career, he assisted cinematographer PC Sreeram. Sreeram recommended him for the Malayalam movie Thenmavin Kombath. The cinematographer who debuted with this film went on to win the National Film Award for Cinematography for the same. He then worked as a cinematographer in several films including Josh, Nayak, and Rajinikanth-starrer Sivaji. In 2005, Anand started his journey as a director with Kana Kandaen. Four years after Anand started working as a director, he helmed Ayan which was commercially a massive success. The film starred Suriya and after its success, Anand worked with several top stars of the Tamil film industry like Dhanush and Vijay Sethupathi.
