In a career spanning over four decades, Pratap has acted in over 100 films and even won a National Award for directing ‘Meendum Oru Kaathal Kathai’. Touted to be a rom film, the film depicts the relationship between two mentally challenged people. He was making a mark across the globe with his phenomenal acting in his first acting debut in a Malayalam film aptly titled, Aaravam which was released in 1978. 

Besides acting and directing, Pratap is fondly known for his films such as Varumayin Niram Sivappu (1980), Nenjathai Killathe (1980), Moodupani (1980), Panneer Pushpangal (1981), Chamaram and Forensic. 

Celebrities and fans are shocked upon hearing that the versatile actor is no more. They have been expressing their sorrow and sadness over the sudden loss of a true gem on Twitter below:
