Pauly is among Malayalam cinema’s most recognisable contemporary stars and has won multiple honours, including two Kerala State Film Awards, three Filmfare Awards South, two Kerala Film Critics Association Awards and six SIIMA Awards.

Panorama Studios, a film production and distribution house, has delivered several box-office successes over the years, beginning with its debut film Omkara and including hits such as Pyaar Ka Punchnama (Parts 1 and 2), Drishyam (Parts 1 and 2), Raid (Parts 1 and 2) and Shaitaan.
