Popularly known as Anna or elder brother, Suniel continues to inspire the youth with his rational approach towards not just fitness but every stage of life. The actor balances between his acting profession and also owns restaurants specialising in Udupi cuisine, just like most Mangalorean families do.

Donning the hat of an entrepreneur, Suniel turned producer by launching his banner Popcorn Motion Pictures and bankrolled films like Khel – No Ordinary Game (2003), Rakht (2004) and Bhagam Bhag (2006).
