During his school days in Christ Nagar, he used to participate in mono-acts and mimicry and had a real penchant for singing.

In 1997–98, at the age of 17, he won the 'Voice of the Year Award' in a music competition conducted by Asianet, a leading private channel.

Besides, with a generation shift in Malayalam cinema, younger actors like Dileep, Kunchacko Boban and Prithviraj Sukumaran needed a young voice to suit their style, which Vidhu fitted.

His depth and range were once again evident in the movie Sayahnam, directed by R. Sarath, which won Vidhu the Kerala State Film Award for Best Singer in 2000 for the song Kaalame Kaikolluka Nee.
