His portrayal of the police commissioner 'Bharath Chandran IPS' in Commissioner (1994) shot him to stardom and is etched in Malayalam movie history as one of the most recognized roles. His famous monologue "Ormayundo ee mugkham?" ("Do you remember this face?") is synonymous with the role and has been subject to much imitation and parody. With the movie, he was established as the third superstar of Malayalam film industry after Mammootty and Mohanlal which he keeps till date.

It was rumored that he was giving up acting career and pursuing a political career. But he acted in off beat movies and accepted only soft roles in the period 2001-05. In 2005, realizing his mistake, he decided to make a come back in action movies. Ranji Panikkar, script writer of his most successful movie Commissioner directed the sequel Bharath Chandran IPS portraying him as the angry police commissioner.
