Early life
editSajin Gopu was born in Aluva as the eldest son of Gopalakrishnan and Pramila. He completed his high school education at the SNDP school and higher secondary education from Aluva Boys higher secondary school. Gopu completed college at the De Paul Institute of Science & Technology in Angamaly.[3]
Career
editSajin made his big screen debut in 2015 with Mumbai Taxi where he played a minor role.[4] He then played minor role in the film Thilothama . Gopu's role of the jeep driver in Lijo Jose Pellissery's Churuli in 2021 became a turning point in his career.[5] The same year he played the character of Saji Vypin in Jan.E.Man, where his performance was acclaimed.[6] In 2023, he starred in one of the lead roles in the horror-comedy Romancham and his character Niroop was well received by audience.[7] Sajin received much critical praise for his role as Ambaan in Jithu Madhavan's gangster action comedy Aavesham.[8] Vignesh Madhu of The New Indian Express wrote, "Ranga’s right hand man is Ambadi, who he fondly—and funnily—calls Ambaan. It is an equally caricaturish role with the might of a beast and the heart of a baby. Sajin Gopu, in this role, is a ball of fire and perfectly complements Fahadh’s madness. These two characters ignite the film everytime it seems to run out of steam.[9]
