Shankaradi had that 'malayalitham' in him. I've heard friends saying that whenever he would make his first entrance in a movie they would feel 'ippozhanu oru malayalam cinemayude feeling vannadu.' Something similar to what u feel while watching a Satyan Anthikkad movie.
His expressions, dialogues, mannerisms, everything was so natural (and so malayali) that you felt he was somebody u knew personally.
Malayalam movies wouldn't be the same without him.

It might not be giving him due justice, to pinpoint any particular role done by him, but one of the most memorable in recent times was the tea shop owner in Kabooliwallah. he takes the credit as much as Jagathy and innocent does for the comedy in the film.

He was the best guy in malayalam to play the role of AMMAVAN. So natural is his way of performance that you feel a real old man talking in front of you. His role brings a homely feeling to the film. His best roles are so many. Of them:
1.Mithunam (esp. when he gets asthma in ooty)
2.Varavelpu
3.God Father
Lots more...

He was an original. One of his most memorable performances came in Thazhvaram, where his garrulous character is the perfect foil to Mohanlal's silent revenge-seeking character. I dont' think he did a bad job in any film; at least I can't remember any. He was equally at ease in serious and comedy roles. And the best part of his portrayals has already been mentioned here -- the Malayalithvam that he brought so effortlessly to the screen.

True Cram, one can't remember a sloppy job by Shankaradi. He was not boasting when he said that "kaimudal ulladu kondu matramaanu njangal itrayum kaalam cinemayil pidichu ninnadu." Saw this quote in an article on him by Malayala Manorama. Can't say that his view holds true for all his peers though.

He is a natural actor . But somehow we cant like him wholeheartedly like we do with ODUVIL,JANARDHANAN
or ADOORBHASI. A sort of adamant character in looks and behaviour.But still he was natural and has done justice to his roles

-----------------
Sangaradi a Panchayat President talks about Srinivasan who wa sa Rowdy but becomes good due to Mamooty and gets a pettikada.
"Keralathil veru eethrngilum oru panchayathil ithu pola oru viruthi kettavani Nannakkiyittu undo?
Suththa Themmadi!!!
Kannil Chora Illatha Thendi!!!
Enthu Thonivasam Kaanikkanum amdikatha oru alavalatthi!!!

hahaha thanks vagees...perfect example of a shankaradi-satyan anthikkadu humor...
isn't this same movie where someone asks sreenivasan "iyaalku veedum kudiyum okke undo" and sreenivasan promptly retorts "veedilla kudiyundu."
another equally brilliant shankaradi appearance was in sandesham (again in a satyan anthikkadu movie), as a communist leader who reschedules bandh calls by his party to accomodate his family occasions. at the same time expecting others to ignore family and work for the party.

Monay Dinesha ! Ormay Undo E Mugham ? Ormay Illanariyaam.
My Deep Respect For Ammavan aka Shakaraadi. He was a funny actor. In the movie Pucchakoru Mukkuthi his acting was hilarious. I also liked his acting in Mithunam when he scold's innocent. I wish he hadn't passed away. He could have played more roles of "Ammavan." That's All.
Pinnay Kanaam Monay Dinesha.

Vince and Kini, Villainmarude listil G.K.Pillaiyum varumo? Pulliyum pazhaya oru villain aayirunnu. Ippol etho serial okke undennu thonnunnu.Pinne, Govindan kutti oru nalla nadan aayirunnu.( have u seen 'Pani theeratha veedu'?). Ente orma sariyanengil He came to cinema thru KPAC. he was the script writer for many of Vadakkan paattu kathakal. But malayalam cinema mis-utilised him as we did with janardhanan, Prathapachandran and Balan.K.nair. eg. 'postumane kanaanilla' with Vijayasree.
Sankaradi did many very good roles with Sreeni and Sathyan. he was a unique asset for malayalam cinema.

True,
The last I heard about GK was that he was going to be casted as the Manthravadi in My Dear Kuttichathan - Part 2 or its new version or some thing similar.As is the wont with our film dailies you may get to see an item on him only the day / week after he decides say bye to his life here.One ll get to see tributes galore and insights into his personality then!!It could also be that he has chosen a life in solitude at this stage of his life - but he deserved more than a post demise coupla pages though.
GK Pillai - I think he s one person who got into the typecast rut himself with a repertoire of roles enacted with not more than one or two expressions in his kitty!!
