Jayan got his first major break appearing as a villain in &#039;&#039;[[Panchami (film)|Panchami]]&#039;&#039; (1976), playing a forest ranger. Jayan&#039;s performance in this film was appreciated in the industry and his physical appearance was also noticed for the first time. His next notable role was in &#039;&#039;[[Thacholi Ambu]]&#039;&#039; (1978), in which he appeared in a supporting role. In the same year, he acted as a sage in the [[Sreekumaran Thampi]] film &#039;&#039;[[Etho Oru Swapnam]],&#039;&#039; which was well received by critics.

He catapulted to fame riding on [[machismo]] roles that endeared him to the masses, and he established himself as one of the most popular Malayalam film actors of his time with superhit movies like [[Chaakara_(film)|&#039;&#039;Chaakara&#039;&#039;]] (1980), &#039;&#039;[[Love in Singapore (1980 film)|Love in Singapore]]&#039;&#039; (1980)&#039;&#039;, [[Paalattu Kunjikannan|Paalattu Kunjikkannan]]&#039;&#039; (1980)&#039;&#039;,&#039;&#039;  &#039;&#039;[[Naayattu]]&#039;&#039; (1980), &#039;&#039;[[Manushya Mrugam (1980 film)|Manushya Mrugam]]&#039;&#039; (1980) and &#039;&#039;[[Angadi]]&#039;&#039; (1980) the latter of which was the highest grossing film of the year.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.forumkeralam.com/malayalam-cinema/5931-jayan-film-festival-kairali-tv.html |title=Jayan The Immortal Superstar |publisher=forumkeralam.com |access-date=2011-01-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711021334/http://www.forumkeralam.com/malayalam-cinema/5931-jayan-film-festival-kairali-tv.html |archive-date=11 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He is generally regarded as the first action hero in Malayalam cinema.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.manoramaonline.com/advt/movie/jayan/index.htm |title=Nostalgia- Jayan Memories |publisher=manoramaonline.com |access-date=2011-02-04 |archive-date=11 February 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070211183505/http://www.manoramaonline.com/advt/movie/jayan/index.htm |url-status=live }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.metromatinee.com/artist/Jayan-329 |title=Metromatinee.com- Action Hero Jayan |publisher=metromatinee.com |access-date=2011-01-20 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110105053530/http://www.metromatinee.com/artist/Jayan-329 |archive-date=5 January &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;2022&lt;/del&gt;}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;The name &quot;Jayan&quot; ({{translation}} &quot;The Victor&quot;) was given to him by veteran Malayalam actor [[Jose Prakash]] on the sets of &#039;&#039;[[Shapamoksham]]&#039;&#039;.
