Career

Nishad has often made social dramas in Malayalam, starting his career with Pakal (2006) and Nagaram (2007). In 2009, he worked with Suresh Gopi and Pasupathy on Vairam: Fight for Justice, which was later dubbed into Tamil as Ammu Kolai Vazhakku. In the early 2010s, his Gandhi Square featuring Thilakan failed to materialise.[1] In 2012, he filed a complaint against actress Padmapriya and her manager for raising the cost of his film, No. 66 Madhura Bus (2012).[2]

In 2015, Nishad spoke out against the content from the film, Kohinoor (2015). His actions implied that the makers of the film had tried to make a big film and imitated the style of big films and stars to make it but at last ended up as a mediocre imitation.[3][4] In 2018, he made Kinar, a bilingual film focusing on the issue of water scarcity in a town between Kerala and Tamil Nadu, and the film starred Jaya Prada and Revathi in the lead roles, with different ensemble casts for the two versions.[5][6]
