Theatre is Murali’s first love. He entered the dramatic field in his early years. His love for theatre can be seen through his performance in the masterly role of Ravana in CN Sreekantan Nair’s “Lanka Lakshmi”.

He was an actor and theatre activist in ‘Natyagriha’ an experimental theatre group in Kerala and acted in ‘Mazha’, 'Souparnika', 'Velliazhcha' by Narendra Prasad and in ‘Zoo story’ by Edward Albee.

Vijayalekshmi, a renowned Malayalam poetess and wife of well acclaimed poet Balachandran Chullikkadu was so much fascinated by the acting of Murali, that she wrote a poem based on it named “Shri Ravanan”.
