Before and alongside his film work, he maintained strong roots in theatre: he acted in numerous plays, wrote comic skits and scripts for stage productions, and his theatre group performed on television. His experience in drama schools and stage writing shaped the character-actor profile he later became known for.

On television he worked as a presenter and host for several Malayalam channels, including Kairali TV, Asianet, JaiHind TV, Reporter TV and Kairali News. This broadcasting work ran in parallel with his theatre activities and helped raise his public visibility.
