Shabareesh Varma has built a reputation for picking characters that feel textured and alive, even when they appear briefly on screen. Although we know him first as the lyricist of some iconic Malayalam songs like Malare and Poyimaranjo, Shabareesh has equally carved a niche for himself as an actor. From Premam to Kannur Squad to Gold to Sahasam, he has consistently found ways to make supporting roles memorable.
