Career
He started his professional career in Television films at the age of 18 as Assistant Director on Dooradarshan Malayalam television film "Nangema kutty"[5](1984) and then assisted the legendary Malayalam Director [1] P.N. Menon in his television film "Ethalukal"-Petals. Later produced Malayalam Television Films "Sthree Parvam" and "Kulam"-Clan. His own directorial debut was the television film "Vyathiyanam"-Digression - Story of a young man with unusual thoughts and his life in Malayam, broadcast by Dooradarshan Thiruvananathapuram.[5]
The iconoclastic life of the poet[6] P. Kunhiraman Nair and his works that adored the beauty of ‘Valluvanadan’ Kerala remain an inspiration for many Keralites even now. Farook Abdul Rahiman who was brought up in the culturally vibrant Palakkad where P. Kunhiraman Nair lived a majority of his life, was no different. Having perused majority of the works of the poet from his childhood, it was an aspiration for the television filmmaker to helm a movie based on him.[2] And the result of the twelve-year-long toil was "Kaliyachan"- The Master of the Play, that bagged Farook many laurels including the [1][7] Kerala State Award for the best debutant director (2012)
