Madhu's first film, Kakothikavile Appuppanthadikal (1986) was also a hit. Madhu Muttam is a scriptwriter who entered the history of Malayalam cinema with his work in a single film. The phenomenal success in box office and among critics of his earlier film Manichithrathaazhu in 1994 is largely credited to Madhu Muttom, who remained silent for too long even after such a hit. Madhu tried a comeback in 2007 with a science fiction film - a rare breed in Malluwood. The film titled Bharathan is the second venture by the director Anil Das who debuted by Sargavasantham
