He won a Special Mention for his performance in Chanthupottu (2005).[16]

      Dileep produced Joshiy-directed Twenty:20 (2008) to raise funds for the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA). The film became the highest-grossing Malayalam film (₹ 31.4 crore) until that time.[17]

      Abduction and assault case


      On 28 June 2017, Dileep was interrogated by the Kerala Police in connection with the abduction and sexual assault of actress Bhavana on 17 February 2017.[3] On 10 July 2017, Dileep was arrested by the Kerala Police for alleged conspiracy, and was remanded by the court.[30] Following his arrest, Dileep's membership was revoked by various film organisations.[31] Several political parties protested against Dileep and his business firms were vandalized, including Dhe Puttu restaurant and the multiplex theatre D Cinemas.[32] On 3 October 2017, he was released on conditional bail by the Kerala High Court.[33] In June 2018, he filed a petition in the Kerala High Court charging the Kerala Police of deliberately framing him. He requested the case be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation.[34]

      Dileep filed an additional plea for accessing video footage of the incident. The plea was denied by both the Angamaly Magistrate Court and the Kerala High Court. Mukul Rohatgi represented him in the case. In October 2018, Dileep was granted bail by the Kerala High Court.[35] In April 2019, the Government of Kerala froze charges against him until the court has given an independent verdict on the case.[36] In May 2019, the Supreme Court stayed his trial until his plea for footage is considered.[37] On 30 November, the court turned down his plea, rather allowed to inspect its content, or have a second opinion as to whether the video is genuine.[38]

      In December 2021, film director Balachandra Kumar gave an interview to a news channel where he alleged that he was witness to discussions among people including Dileep, regarding turning witnesses hostile, attacking police officers leading the investigation and being in illegal possession of the assault video. He also claimed he had audio recordings of these conversations.[39][40] Based on these claims, Kerala police registered a new case against Dileep for conspiracy to assault investigating officers.[41]
