Trademarks
In Renji's films, heroes are shown to be fearless man who whenever becomes angry scolds all the bad people, especially corrupt higher officials. Dialogues are always lengthy and Renji always adds english words and then translate those words in malayalam which became a repetitive thing in all of his films. Except Dr. Pasupathi all of his films belongs to political backdrop. Recent political problems are always added in his script which evokes much controversy, but he gives more emphasis to hero's fire dialogues.Filmography
