Dilip Kumar Salvadi (born 30 April 1985) is an Indian actor, director, and editor who works predominately in Telugu and Tamil films.

Career

He started his career as a child artist between the early 1990s and 2000s starting with Number One (1994).[1] As a child artist, he has performed in more than 20 films, and is most noted for playing the younger version of Gopichand in Jayam (2002) and its Tamil remake.[2] [3] He began his career as a lead protagonist in the movie Seenu c/o Anu (2005).[2] He continued for a decade for several films in Telugu, Malayalam and Tamil. He collaborated with director Arjunaraja for three films: Maiyam Konden, Kovalanin Kadhali and Thiru-pugaz.[4] [5] He starred in Sasi Shanker's Pagadai Pagadai.[6]

In 2019, he worked as a director for the period film Diksoochi (2019).[7] [8] [9] Regarding his performance in the film, a critic wrote that "Dileep Kumar played multiple roles for the film, as an actor, as a director, and as an editor. He played his part very well in the movie. As a story-teller, he is brilliant and at the same time, as an actor, he is good. He scored good marks in the debut".[10] 123 Telugu was more critical of the film, calling the second part a disaster and Dilip Kumar Salvadi's acting, decent but his film direction, disappointing.[11]
