Soon, Indrans started getting cast by well-known directors including Padmarajan, Venu Nagavally, Shaji N. Karun, Sibi Malayil and K. Madhu. CID Unni Krishnan was a turning point in his career. His brand of comedy clicked among the audiences and he went on to become a popular comedian in Kerala, and has worked steadily as an actor. As a comedy actor he has made most use of his slender, lean figure and typical accent to win over the audiences. He created his own style in cinema. Renowned directors Adoor Gopalakrishnan and T.V. Chandran also offered him roles.
