In 1973, Sathyan debuted as an assistant director to Dr. Balakrishnan in Rekha Cine Arts. Sathyan kickstarted his film direction with Kurukkante Kalyanam in 1982. He teamed up with Sreenivasan and made some of the most memorable films in Malayalam film history, with Sreenivasan as the screenwriter. Thalayanamanthram, Nadodikkattu and Sandesam are some of the films born from this team, covering socially relevant matters with a comic touch. Sathyan made two novels into films: Appunni starring Mohanlal (a film adaptation of V. K. N.'s novel) and Irattakkuttikalude Achan starring Jayaram and Manju Warrier (an adaptation of C. V. Balakrishnan's novel). Of late, he has ventured into screenwriting and made films like Rasathanthram, Vinodayathra, Innathe Chintha Vishayam and Bhagyadevatha, with credits of story, dialogues and screenplay.
He is a favorite of family filmgoers because of his selection of plots in family-life backgrounds with social relevance and because of his comedic tastes.
