He also gave break to new directors Priyadarsan and T.S.Suresh Babu with Poochakkoru Mookkuthi and Itha Innu Muthal respectively. In 1984, Shankar appeared in Ente Kalithozan, Arante Mulla Kochu Mulla and Muthodu Muthu. His other successful films of 1983 are Mortuary, Hello Madras Girl and Himam. Success continued in Malayalam with Padayottam, Anuragakodathy, Kaliyamardanam, Sandhyakku Virinja Poovu and Engane Nee Marakkum, so he decided to concentrate on Malayalam films. He tried a change in his appearance for Udhayamahirathu by shaving off his moustache.
Simultaneously his Tamil films Sujatha, Koyil Puraa, Mouna Yuddham and Raagam Thedum Pallavi also did good business. His later films Kadathu opposite Roja Ramani, Oothikachiya Ponnu with Poornima Jayaram and the successful Ente Mohangal Poovaninju cemented Shankar as the romantic hero of Malayalam films. His next Malayalam outing was in Guha with Menaka, his most successful costar and arguably the best hero heroine combination along with Prem Nazir – Sheela and Madhu-Srividhya, as a psychopath, but the film flopped.
