Vijay Anand (died 6 February 2024) was an Indian composer who worked in South Indian films, predominantly Kannada and Tamil.
Vijay Anand developed an interest in music at the age of five due to the musical troupe Thomas and Party being his neighbours. After seeing his interest in music, they took him to their troupe and made him to be part of their concerts. He later started his own troupe in 1972. [1] Vijay Anand was also a composer for Visu's stage plays. [2] He was expected to debut in film with Visu's Naanayam Illatha Naanayam (1984); [1] however Oorukku Upadesam , released the same year, became his film debut. [3] Dwarakish who was impressed with his music in Oorukku Upadesam chose him to compose music for its Kannada remake Indina Ramayana . [1] Vijay Anand went to score for more Tamil films including Naan Adimai Illai (1986), Kavalan Avan Kovalan (1987), Vetri Mel Vetri (1989) and Rasathi Varum Naal (1991).
