Satyadev Kancharana

Satya hails from Visakhapatnam. He attended SFS School and Nalanda Talent School in Visakhapatnam. He later studied Computer Science engineering in MVGR College of Engineering, located in Vijayanagaram, and graduated in the year 2008.[1]

Starting his career as a short-film maker in Visakhapatnam, Satya ventured into feature film acting with Mr. Perfect in 2011 in a minor role. He appeared in small roles for the next couple of years in films like Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, Attarintiki Daredi and Mukunda before landing a major role in Maine Pyar Kiya. Although his performance was critically acclaimed, the film failed at the box office. One critic from the Deccan Chroncile wrote that "Another promising debutant is Satya Dev, who had to perform two characters — one young and the other, in the 40s. The variations in both characters are brought out superbly by Dev".[2]

Satya was selected from over 500 artistes who auditioned for the lead role in Jyothi Lakshmi.[3][4][5] The film, although a moderate box office success, provided him a much needed recognition in the film industry and after that he got an opportunity to work with Prakash Raj in Mana Oori Ramayanam. He also played an important role of an Indian Sonar Operator in The Ghazi Attack.[6]
