He was educated at St. Joseph's Boys' High School Tellicherry. [ [http://stjosephshss.info/fstudents.htm St Joseph's Higher Secondary School, Thalassery ] ]

Vineeth is a nephew of the famous Travancore sisters. Of them, apparently Padmini and Ragini imposed on his parents to send him to dancing school.

He caught the public eye by winning the several prizes in the Bharatanatyam dance form while studying in school including winning the first prize at the Kerala State Youth festival for four years in a row [ [http://stjosephshss.info/fstudents.htm St Joseph's Higher Secondary School, Thalassery ] ] and winning the top prize of 'Kalaprathibha' [ [http://www.webindia123.com/personality/men/vineeth/vineeth.html Top 100 Handsome Indian Men - Vineeth ] ]

Vineeth entered films with the I.V. Sasi film 'Edanilagal' in 1985. It was however with his second film 'Nakakshathangal' in 1986 that he caught the public eye in films.
