Acting career

He made his debut in films with Puthran, the sequel of Mikhayelinte Santhathikal. He acted in a number of movies as villain and second hero. During the second half of nineties, he was considered to be the superstar in making. But most of the films with Biju Menon as hero failed in box office though his roles as second hero were very popular. He acted with Suresh Gopi in a number of super hit movies like Pathram, F. I. R., and Chinthamani Kolacase. During the later 90's and early 2000s he appeared in a few off beat movies with directors like T. V. Chandran, Lenin Rajendran, and Kamal in the films Mazha, Madhuranombarakkattu, Anyar, and Meghamalhar.

He is considered to be one of the favorite actors of director Lal Jose as he appeared in the majority of movies directed by him, which includes Oru Maravathoor Kanavu, Chandranudikkunna Dikkil, Randaam Bhaavam, Rasikan, Chanthupottu, Pattalam, and Mulla.

In 1997, he won the Kerala State Award for the Second Best Actor for his role as Akhilachandran in Krishnagudiyil Oru Pranayakalathu. He also acts as an antagonist in Tamil films as well and has been successful in films like Majaa and Thambi.
