He is mainly known for portraying and playing a character, supporting and minor roles in various feature fictional films.

Till date, he has done approximately 40 films especially Malayalam. Due to his face appearance and body mannerisms, he majorly gets to portray comic roles.

He is a very controversial actor too as in the year 2013 (November), he was arrested in Alappuzha during the speech of the Youth Congress Leader, the reason being that he laughed quite loudly while the speech was going on. He likes old generation Malayalam movies as compared to the new ones as he compared the new generation movies with ripples which disappears soon where as old movies acquire a special place in people’s hearts and brains and it takes time for them to fade away. His most memorable and prominent roles were for the movies like “ Big B Click to look into! >> Read More... ,” “Vinodha Yatra,” “Rasathanthram,” “Classmates,” etc.

He has also appeared in the blockbuster hit off-beat movie named “Raman and Ramanam.” Now a days, he has taken a short break from films and appeared in a very less number of movies. He has also been a judge for various comedy reality shows which are aired on T.V. channel named “Asianet.” He has a lot of interest in politics and has been an active member of a political party named “Communist Party.”

By nature, he is a strong activist too, and to support his party, he always attends its various speeches, interviews, and talks, either on a T.V. channel or in an open ground. He got arrested twice in the year 2013, one for laughing during a speech and then on November 22, 2013, he again got arrested as he indulged in a fight with the Youth Congress Supporters, used abusive language with them, and had beaten them up too. The F.I.R. was registered by the supporters of the same party. They united themselves and manhandled him up too. Away from his controversies, his contribution to the Malayalam Film Industry is incomparable. With the help of his great comic timing and wit, he has won and secured a permanent place in everybody’s heart.
