Mr. Bharatan, a well-known director, introduced me to movies. I have done 75 movies in five major Indian languages (Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada). I have played a wide range of roles as hero as well as supporting actor. Some of my movies were featured in national and international festivals and won recognitions. |

In 2003, a special jury selected 31 movies, to have a festival and celebrate the 75th anniversary of Malayalam film industry. Two of my movies, Vaisali, and Sayahnam were featured. |

The movie “Vaisali” is an untold story from an Indian epic called “Mahabharata”. Late Mr. Bharatan directed the movie and Mr. M.T. Vasudevan Nair, a renowned writer, wrote the script. I played a king, whose country had no rain for the past 11 years due to a Brhamin’s curse. The people were suffering from famine and starvation. According to the king’s guru/advisor, the only solution to this precarious predicament was to seduce a young and powerful saint, Rishisringa, and bring him to perform a special prayer called ‘yaga’. The king entrusted this dangerous task of seducing the saint, with a beautiful girl called Vaisali, not knowing the fact that she was his illicit daughter. The movie ends with rain, the tragic death of Vaisali’s mother, and the king’s inability to accept Vaisali as his daughter as promised for bringing the saint. |

In “Sayanam”, I played a pauper who disobeyed all the Ten Commandments. Hence, the church buried him among other outlaws. A year later, his grave was unearthed to bury another. The church authorities were shocked to see his body intact. According to the church, only saints’ bodies remain undamaged. As a result, the church authorities began to analyze his life. |

“Aparhnnam”, is another remarkable film in my career. The Sanskrit word aprahnnam means the time between afternoon and evening. It is considered as the most confused part of the day. Similarly, the movie talks about the most confused stage of the character’s life. The character I played is an ex terrorist, who finds it difficult to cope with the society. Both the movies Aparahnnam and Sayanam, were directed by a very popular director called M.P.Sukumaran Nair. He was the co-director of the world famous director Mr. Adoor Gopalakrishnan. |

My biggest action hits are Chanda, Kadal, Dada, Bharnakoodam, Ganthdari, The Street, Nadody, Special Squad, Hathya, Attahasm, Vajram, Black etcetera |
|
"Poovinu Puthiya Poothennal" was remade into 4 major Indian languages, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Tamil. I played the same character in all these language movies ie. playing the same character 5 times, which is probably a world record in movies. |
