Diphan also known as Deepan is ever remembered for his film Puthiya Mukham, which had actor Prithviraj in the lead role. This film was important for the fact that it was his first project post the filmmaker's sabbatical. He was ailing from liver cirrhosis and kidney failure, following which he left the world, leaving the entire Malayalam film industry in shock.
