Director Fazil persuaded him to act in films; it was Fazil who showed the results of his screen test to Ranjith, who directed him in 'Nandanam'.

In the cinema industry I wasn't all that close to other actors. I had excellent relationships only with the directors of my films. They are like my gurus. Actually, this is the case with many actors too. They are usually closer to their directors than with other stars.
