He bagged the State Award for the supporting actor through ‘Amaram’. His character Bapputti in ‘Adharam’ fully brought out his potential, fetching him the best actor state award, his first.

The Malayalee audience accepted him even in villainous roles, as seen in ‘Naduvazhikal’, ‘Adhipan’, ‘The Truth’, ‘The King’, a tribute to his acting prowess. Character roles in ‘Prayikkara Pappan’, ‘Valayam’, ‘Chambakkulam Thachan’, were also widely applauded. ‘Thalolam’ and ‘Kanakkinavu’ brought him more laurels. Now, the excellent depiction of Appamestri through ‘Neythukkaran’ once again brings the state award to Murali’s showcase.
