With films such as Mr. Clean (1996), Oru Mutham Mani Mutham (1997), Kalyana Kacheri (1997), Mattupetti Machan (1998), and Aakasha Ganga (1999). His more prominent roles would be in Siddique's Hitler (1996) and Friends (1999). He had a re-union with Priyadarshan with Kakkakuyil (2001). Post 2000, Mukesh went into another shift of his career. He started doing more character roles. Some of them being Chronic Bachelor (2003), Sethurama Iyer CBI (2004), Udayananu Tharam (2005), Rasathanthram (2006), Vinodayathra (2007), Naalu Pennungal (2007), Innathe Chintha Vishayam (2008), and Mummy & Me (2010).

In 2007, Mukesh turned to production as well. He formed Lumiere Film Company along with Sreenivasan. Their first venture Katha Parayumpol (2007) was a commercial success.
