Among the films produced by him, Manichitrathazhu is considered as one of the best thrillers ever made in India as well as one of the best Malayalam films ever made.[1] Manichitrathazhu was remade after nearly 10 years in various languages, including Kannada (Apthamitra), Tamil and Telugu (dubbed) (Chandramukhi), Bengali (Rajmohol), and Hindi (Bhool Bhulaiyaa), all being commercially successful. Apart from being the highest grossing Malayalam film ever, Manichitrathazhu was selected as second greatest Indian film through an IBNLive poll.[2]
