He got his break in the film industry by the role played in ‘Sapthamasree’ and ‘Amen.’ The story behind his comic characters as a major fame earner was cleared in an interview when he said: “For me, the comedy comes so easy.” He has played some tremendous characters personifying the comedian skills he has. For example in Anchu Sundarikal. Most recently he stole the audience’s hearts playing the role of a pivot narrator role of thief Martin in ‘Sapthamashree’ (2014). His comic timing and powerful dialogue delivery were like the icing on the cake.

He has done a handful of movies, but he gained fame only after ‘Sapthamashree’ for his active comedy. Though he does not have six pack abs and has some villainous looks still, his acting skills push back all the other stars behind.
