His second entry to Malayalam cinema was through Sibi Mayil's movie Doore Doore Oru Koodu Koottam. After this film he was introduced to Sathyan Anthikkad by scriptwriter Sreenivasan. He landed a role in Gandhinagar Second Street. His portrayal of Gafoor in Sathyan Anthikkad's Mohanlal – Sreenivasan starrer Nadodikkattu (1987) carved a niche for him in Malayalam cinema.
