His film career got the break after he was posted in the state capital city in the early eighties and his career graph went steep after his stellar performance in the Mammootty starrer- Sangham in 1988 and since then he had no reason to look back.
Time and again he took long leave from his official career and he acted in more than 75 films. Among the films which he revelled include Ayirapara, Innale, Chanakyan to name a few. The last rites would be held on Saturday at his home parish near Thrissur.
