During the shoot of the film he had hospitalized several times due to bad health and while the final mixing of the film was taking place he had affected with Pneumonia as well. That had made things worse. He was in Ventilator last day but it could not save his life. Doctors said that his body was not responding to the medicines and that had made the situation out of control.
He had directed films like Hridayathil Sookshikkan, Traffic, Mili and Vettah. Apart from Hridayathil Sookshikkan starred by Kunchacko Boban and Bhavana, which was his first film, all other film was got the attention of the audience.

Mili was released last year, which had won Amala Paul, great appreciation as an actress and his latest film named Vettah Starring Kunchacko Boban, Indrajith and Manju Warrier is getting reviews such as the best thriller in Mollywood in recent times. But he did not had the luck to receive the appreciation which deserved as a director who had conceived this film as he was hospitalized with serious health problems even before the release of the film.
