Career[edit]
After completing his degree, Anthony met director T. R. Ramanna, who introduced him to the film industry.

He was given a positive role in the film Penn Kulathin Ponvilakku (1959) as an admirer of a woman whom he considers as a sister. He gained the attention of the general public with the film Kappalottiya Thamizhan in 1961, where he portrayed the role of CollectorAsh. Later films which featured him in the lead, were however moderately successful. Active mostly in the 1960s and 1970s, he acted mainly in villainous roles, but also did character roles opposite many leading actors of those times.[2]
Ashokan's performance as a helpless traveller who gets conned in Vallavanukku Vallavan, and as the historical Indian character Duryodhana in the mythology film Karnan were well received. He was regularly cast in supporting roles as an elder brother or as the father or father-in-law or as the main villain in 59 films with M. G.
