Early life

His father wanted him to be a doctor, but in school and college, extra curricular activities dominated his time. He wrote plays and staged them with his friends; Nedumudi Venu was his college mate while he was in S.D. College Alleppey, and this group was perhaps the first mimicry team that entertained crowds. "I used to mimic stars like Sathyan,Prem Nasir, Sivaji Ganesan and Govindankutty." He completed his post-graduation in economics.
