Mohanlal, Sreenivasan and Jayaram embodied the typical Sathyan Anthikad protagonist in most of the films. On the other hand, Sathyan Anthikad had tried making movies in different genres as well but because of their moderate success rate at the box-office he hasn't pursued to make more of them. Some of his such films include Pappan Priyappetta Pappan (1986), Samooham (1993), Pingami (1994) with the exception being Artham (1989) which was a commercial success at the box-office. However, films like Pingami though a commercial failure at the time release, have over the years gained a cult following.[1]
