Rahul was born in Palakkad, Kerala, India. He completed his schooling in Bharatha Matha Higher Secondary School, Chandranagar. He studied filmmaking in London Film Academy, and went on to complete his master's degree in animation and VFX from University of South Wales.[5]
Rahul made his directorial debut soon after his London Film Academy course with Red Rain (2013), a science fiction film based on the red rain phenomenon in Kerala.[6] While the film was lauded by genre fans, it did not achieve mainstream success.[7] Rahul's sophomore film, Bhoothakaalam (2022), came 9 years later, in a direct to streaming release on SonyLIV. It helped the horror film gain national attention and was widely praised for its atmospheric treatment and complex themes.[8][9][10][11] His third film, Bramayugam (2024), a big-budget period horror was produced by Night Shift Studios, a film production company exclusively created to produce Horror-Thriller features.[12] The film gained pre-release attention due to star Mammootty's negative role and Rahul's choice to present the film wholly in black-and-white. It was well received by critics and became a box-office success upon release.[13][14]
