The introduction of Nanjiyamma is also considered to be such an attempt. The filmmaker often brought local flavours to his films. Madhupal adds that Sachy had the caliber of a classic movie maker who could convey a long dialogue through just one look or gesture. Sachy’s skills as a criminal lawyer as well as his attention to details enhanced the quality of his films. In ‘Run Baby Run’, he featured a half deaf journalist, while in ‘Robin Hood’, the protagonist was a robber. Sachy’s films often broke the stereotypical portrayals of lead actors, says filmmaker Madhupal. His directorial debut was 'Anarkali' (2015) which starred Prithviraj and Biju Menon. Directed by Joshiy, the thriller, set in the backdrop of electronic media, was a massive hit. His first film as an independent writer was the Mohanlal-starrer 'Run Baby Run' (2012). Sachy started his film career as script writer in association with writer Sethunath for 'Chocolate' in 2007. He has made films and written scripts for 12 movies before he breathed his last at the age of 47 following a cardiac arrest in June, 2020, only a few months after the release of ‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum'. A lawyer-turned filmmaker, Sachy has left a mark in Malayalam cinema.
Tribal woman and first-time playback singer Nanjiyamma, who won the best female playback singer, will owe it to Sachy as it was him who gave her the opportunity. K R Sachidanandan, popularly known as Sachy, was duly honoured, though posthumously, for his evergreen contributions to the Malayalam film industry as his final directorial movie 'Ayyappanum Koshiyum' bagged four awards, including that of the best director award for him. As the Malayalam film industry ruled the roost at the 68th National Film Awards with as many as 14 winners, it was indeed a bitter-sweet situation as the man behind the film that won the maximum honours wasn’t there to witness the celebrations.
