Career

Swamy is the creator of some of the well-known fictional characters in Malayalam cinema including Sethurama Iyer (portrayed by Mammootty) and Sagar Alias Jacky (portrayed by Mohanlal). Sagar Alias Jacky, a notorious gold smuggler, was the protagonist in Irupatham Noottandu (1987) and the eponymous Sagar alias Jacky Reloaded (2009), its spiritual successor. Sethurama Iyer, a CBI officer and the protagonist of the CBI film series, was inspired by a real-life police officer called Radhavinod Raju who retired as Chief of India's National Investigative Agency. The film had five sequels.[2] The character Inspector Balram played by Mammootty in the films Avanazhi(1986) & sequel Balram vs. Tharadas(2006) and Ali Imran, a cop played by Mohanlal in Moonnam Mura (1988) are some of his other creations.
