Dileep (Malayalam: ദിലീപ്; born Gopalakrishnan Padmanabhan Pillai on 27 October 1968) is an Indian film actor, mimicry artist and producer best known for his work in Malayalam cinema.

Dileep started his career as a mimicry artist in the Cochin Kalabhavan troupe. He later started his film career as an assistant director to Kamal with the film Vishnu Lokam (1991). He rose to prominence as a lead actor during the early 2000s with films such as Joker (2000), Ishtam (2001), Kalyanaraman (2002), and Meesa Madhavan (2002). In 2003 he ventured into film production and started his own production company, Grand Productions, and produced and starred in C.I.D. Moosa (2003). He also produced Kathavasheshan (2004), Pandippada (2005), and Twenty:20 (2008).

Early life

Dileep was born on 27 October 1968 in Aluva, Ernakulam district, Kerala to Padmanabhan Pillai and Sarojam.^[1] He studied at S.N.V. Sadanam School and Vidyadhiraja Vidya Bhavan High School, then joined Aluva U.C. College, and then transferred to Maharaja's College in Ernakulam. His talent for acting was not known in school and college, where he rarely won any accolades or merits. During 1985–1987 he tried to perform as a mimicry artist at UC College but was not successful. On joining Maharaja's College for a B.A. in History in 1989,^[2] Dileep started to take mimicry seriously. Mimicry was only getting its roots in Kerala at the time. Dileep gained fame in mimicry by imitating Mohanlal and Innocent. He gained entry into Malayalam cinema through actorJayaram who recommended him to director Kamal to work as an assistant director.^[3]

Career

1990s

Dileep started his career in a troupe called Kalabhavan, working as a mimicry artist. He also played a lead role in Asianet's hit comedy program Comicola. Later he got a chance to be the assistant director to Kamal. While being an assistant director, Dileep did some small roles, debuting with just a small scene in Kamal's Ennodu Ishtam Koodaamo (1992). He was then brought up by actor Jayaram. He recommended his name to many directors. The film Manathe Kottaram (1994), directed by Sunil, gave him the first break and his screen name Dileep came into place through the character of the same name that he played. Other minor roles during this time included Joshi's Sainyam (1993), Sibi Malayil's Sindoora Rekha (1995), Urvashi's Pidakozhi Koovunna Nootand (1994), Kamal's Ulladakkam (1993) and Sudhinam (1994).

By the mid-90s he started getting more prominent roles. He played a supporting role in Sathyan Anthikkad's Thooval Kottaram (1996) starring Jayaram and Manju Warrier in the lead. He also did another supporting role in the Jayaram-starring film Swapna Lokathe Balabhaskaran (1996). The film Sallapam (1996) was a turning point in his career; with the commercial success of the film he started becoming noted as an actor. He played the lead role in Kamal's Ee Puzhayum Kadannu in 1996. In both Sallapam and Ee Puzhayum Kadannu he co-starred with Manju Warrier, whom he later married. He played a supporting role in I. V. Sasi's Varnapakittu in 1997. It was playing Unnikrishnan in Rafi-Meccartin's Punjabi House (1998) that made him popular as a comic actor. Another interesting role of that time was Ommanakuttan in Meenathil Thalikettu (1998). His first Priyadarshan film was Megham (1999), starring Mammootty. In Lal Jose's Chandranudikkunna Dikhil (1999), he co-starred with Kavya Madhavan.^[4]

2000s: Rise to stardom

Some of his interesting comedy films in the early 2000s include Mr. Butler (2000), Darling Darling (2000), and Ee Parakkum Thalika (2001). A major commercial success was Rafi-Meccartin's Thenkasipattanam (2000), where he co-starred with Suresh Gopi and Lal. A. K. Lohithadas's Joker (2000) also did very well; Dileep was noted for playing Babu. With the commercial success of such comedy-melodramas, Sibi Malayil's Ishtam (2001), Aku Akbar and Aby Jose's Mazhathullikkilukkam (2002), and Sasi Shankar's Kunjikkoonan (2002), Dileep had established himself as a commercially viable actor. He won the Kerala State Film Special Jury Award for playing Kunjan in Kunjikkoonan. It was playing Madhavan in Lal Jose's Meesa Madhavan (2002) that made a star out of Dileep. It was quite different from his usual slapstick roles. During 2000-2002 period most of the malayalam filims were failing at the boxoffice and malayalam filim industry seemed to be in a declined phase. Meesa Madhavan was the first blockbuster during that period. Dileep was the man who gave rebirth to malayalam filim industry. He later went on to play in Shafi's Kalyanaraman (2002), Jayaraj's Thilakkam (2003), and Johny Antony's C.I.D. Moosa (2003) (which he produced himself). He also produced and starred in T. V. Chandran's critically acclaimed Kadhavaseshan (2004). His comic timing and dialogue delivery in films made him popular among Malayali audiences, though there was criticism from certain quarters that he had been typecast in slapstick comic roles. In 2004, he starred in Priyadarshan's Vettom.

His role as an effeminate man from a family of fishermen in Lal Jose's Chanthupottu (2005) won him the Special Jury Award at the Kerala State Film Awards. He played an action hero in Runway (2004), Kochirajavu (2005), Lion (2006), Chess (2006), and Don (2006). Critics and audiences alike responded poorly to his performance in Shaji Kailas's Don.^[5] He played the athlete Arjun in Speed Track, the debut of director Jayasurya. His second film with the acclaimed director Sathyan Anthikkad, Vinodayathra, was released in April 2007. It was one of the most critically appreciated Malayalam movies of the year 2007. He also had the chance to play in Blessy's Calcutta News (2008), though this film was not as well received compared to Blessy's previous films.

Dileep produced Joshi's Twenty:20 (2008), which is considered to be the highest-grossing film in Malayalam cinema and the second highest being Pazhassi Raja. In the year 2009, he had a good start. His film Crazy Gopalan performed very well at the box office compared to his other movie, Colours, which only had an average performance. Although the highly anticipated Moss & Cat directed by veteran director Fazil did not perform very well at the box office, his other 2009 film, Passenger, directed by debutant Ranjith Shankar, where he starred along with Mamta Mohandas and Sreenivasan, was a runaway success. His next film, Swantham Lekhakan, had an above-average performance.

2010s: As Superstar

In the beginning of 2010 Dileep joined with couple of veterans in Malayalam film Sidhique and Kamal.The first one Bodyguard, directed by Siddique, was a critical and commercial success. He was praised for his performance as Jayakrishnan. His next film, Aagathan, directed by Kamal, was also a critical and commercial success. Pappy Appacha, a Mammas film, became the sixth highest grosser of 2010. His production venture Malarvadi Arts Club, directed by Vineeth Sreenivasan, was also a runaway hit. His next film Karyasthan was his 100th film, was a mega hit collecting a whopping 5 crores share and is known as a comeback movie by his fans. It ran for more than 100 days. Karyasthan was the 3rd topmost grosser in the box office of kerala in 2010. His next movie Marykundoru kunjad was super duper success at the box office and is considered to be a blockbuster. Dileep was chosen as the No.1 actor by Sify in the year 2010 because most of his films were Superhits . His next movie Christian Brothersis also creating box office history with super reports. The movie Christian brothers has taken amazing distributors share of 8.25 crores in just 25 days which is a record for malayalam film. His next movie China town was also released on April 14 as a vishu release and is having bad reports since the movie lack incase of story. Dileep brought his absolute comic timing with his co-stars Jayaram and Mohanlal. His next film Orma Mathram, a Madhu Kaithapram movie got released in nearly 60 theaters. Being an art movie, theater responses was not so great but was critically acclaimed. His next movie was The Film Star with Kalabhavan Mani where he did an extended cameo.

Dileep has about 12 projects lined up. They include Akku Akkbar movie named Ithano Karyam,Nadodimannan by Viji Thampy, My name is avarachan, Valayar paramasivam etc... Dileeps forthcoming release is Mr.Marumakan, a Sandhya Mohan filim scripted by the hitmakers Sibi K Thomas-Udayakrishna team. Sanusha is debuting in malayalam filim industry as dileep's heroine in this movie. Now Dileep is in Spain currently busy with shooting of his next movie Spanish Masala with his favorite director Lal Jose. Dileep-Lal Jose-Benny P Nayarambalam trio is joining hands after a long gap of 6 years for this film. The film will be shot entirely in Spain. After this project, he will join on the sets of Akku Akbar movie which has not been named yet.The most expected movie of Dileep in 2011 is Shyamaprasad movie in which the south indian queen Asin is making a comeback to malayalam films as the pair of Dileep.

Personal life

Dileep married actress Manju Warrier on 20 October 1998 at the Aluva Srikrishna Temple. Their marriage created a discussion about whether married actresses should be expected to leave the field: Warrier was a leading female actress in Malayalam cinema during the late 1990s but chose to stop acting after marriage. The couple have one daughter.^{[citation needed]}
