Lohi's first movie screenplay was Thaniavarthanam directed by "Sibi Malayil".[citation needed] Together, Sibi Malayil and Lohithadas would later produce several Malayalam movies.[citation needed] His screenplay works for Sibi Malayil are Thaniyavarthanam (1987), Dasharatham (1989), Kireedam (1989), His Highness Abdullah (1990), Bharatham (1990), Dhanam (1991), Kamaladalam (1992), and Chenkol (1993).

His works were recognised from his very first venture Thaniyavarthanam, which brought him the Kerala State Film Award for Best Story.[citation needed]
