The most happening actor in the Malayalam cinema Dileep- entered
the malayalam film industry as a mimicry artist who wanted to be an
actor, but then started assisting directors like Kamal. He got his
first break in a tiny role of Kamal's film Ennodu Ishtam Koodamo'.
And the films which came afterwards like Manathe Kottaram, Mr. Butler,
Kakkakkum Poochakkum Kalyanam etc proves him as a good comedy actor.
Sallapam a hit movie of sunder das in which he played as a hero gives
him a break as a hero in his film career. Later comes Rakshasaraajavu,
and Thenkasipattanam as supporting actor which all become hits.
But it was in a movie named Joker directed by Lohitdas which unchained
him from the type comedy roles he had at his hand. He played the role
of the joker, who always wore a smile at his face and was making others
life even when he had a whole lot of personal agonies hid within his
heart. He handled the character with easiness that he never had to
look back after the film's stupendous success.
