Prithviraj-Jeethu Joseph team again and this time with Oozham
Super director Jeethu Joseph and young super star Prithviraj is joining hands again and this time with a film named Oozham. The first look of the film is already out. Earlier there were rumors that the Jeethu Joseph-Prithviraj film is named as Kuppi. But now with the official first look and title, that rumor died out. Reports says that this film will be the Onam release of Prithviraj this year. Prithviraj-Jeethu Joseph team’s first association was in 2013 and it was a film named Memories which also released in an Onam season. It was a super success as well. So there is great hope among the viewers when this combo unites for another venture.
Oozham is also said to be a crime thriller just like Memories, which was an investigation thriller in which Prithviraj played an alcoholic cop named Sam Alex. Jeethu Joseph had later directed 3 films in his career. One is Drishyam with Mohanlal in the lead which is still the highest ever grosser in Mollywood history with a total business done about 75 crores. Later he had done its Tamil remake with Kamal Haasan in the lead and also a Malayalam film with Dileep named Life of Josootty. Papanasham did well in Tamil Nadu but Life of Josootty not done much great in box office.
Prithviraj had went through a lean patch in 2014 and in the beginning of 2015 but came strongly with 4 consecutive successes and 2 of them are made its spot among the all-time blockbuster list of Mollywood. Ennu Ninte Moideen, Amar Akbar Anthony, Anarkkali and Pavada are those successes. He is now busy with Sujith Vasudev directorial film james and Alice. After that he may begin the film named Ezra directed by debutant Jaya Krishnan. Jeethu Joseph film also begin along with it or right after that.
Reports says that the title may change as already a Malayalam film had released with the same title Oozham, years back. Anyway, now it’s ‘Oozham’ for Jeethu Joseph and Prithviraj and let’s wait for it.
