His next film, Style, came in 2016 and was a success at the box-office. Although it took close to two years in the making, Style marked a turning point in his career as director. Binu stated: "Style is not Ithihasa. Ithihasa stemmed from the desire to do a totally different film. Style on the other hand is a normal film. An object gaining prominence in each movie happened unintentionally. It is the byproduct of writing scripts with an eye on novelty. Therefore, there isn’t any story behind the objects."[4]
