He has also collaborated with popular artists such as Dushyanth Weeraman, Iraj Weeraratne, Chinthi and Ranindu. Dushyanth's song Pana Senehasa was also very popular. Then he came with the song Ahankara Nagare for Ranidu Lankage. It became the most popular song on the index.[7]

Also, he made the song Sokoari for newcomer Chinthi. He was reprimanded for writing the song Sokari which later became a social issue.
