His next films were Thamaasha and the Tovino Thomas starrer Luca.[12] Anees Nadodi joined Luca as a replacement, but the crew was impressed with him, and the looks and artistic personality of the titular character, Luca, a talented artist, were redesigned based on those of Anees Nadodi.[10] Also, it was Nadodi's suggestion to make Luca a scrap artist rather than just a painter.[10]
His next movie to release was Kappela, which won him the National Film Award for Best Production Design.[13]
