"When I am offered a role, two things I consider are if I could pull off the role and if I could relate to it."

"I’m happy if it is a character role, too; it doesn’t always have to be a lead role until I can try and experience something new."

Movies

"Shanavas Bavakutty called me after seeing my performance in Pranaya Vilasam. He loves cinema and everything about it, and the experience of working with him was unique,"

"I am waiting for the release of Bazooka. It was a very good experience working with the crew of the movie."

"It’s surely a dream come true for a newcomer to act with Mammookka (Mammootty). I could speak to him, I am happy that he now recognises me."
