Early life

In his early life he was active in film societies and freelance journalism. He used to write screenplays for short movies and adshorts at that time. In 1972 he joined Canara Bank and when he became busy in films, in 1983, he resigned the job and fully focused on movies.

The awards given to him include the Nana Gallop poll award for the best screenplay writer, Kerala film critics association award, and the State award for the best film book for M.T. Oru Anuyathra. He was the producer of the movie Oru Cherupunchiri directed by M.T. Vasudevan Nair, which has won state, national and international awards.
