Fahadh Faasil-Dileesh Pothan film Joji starts rolling
Fahadh Faasil’s new film ‘Joji’ with director Dileesh Pothan has gone on floors. Syam Pushkaran is scripting the film which is inspired from Willaim Shakespeare’s famous play, ‘Macbeth’. As per the makers, it is an independent adaptation that is set in the modern era.
‘Joji’ is Fahadh’s third film in the pandemic-period. He was one of the first among the mainstream stars to begin works during the lockdown time. His screen-film ‘C U Soon’ with director Mahesh Narayanan was met with excellent response. After that, he shot for ‘Irul’, a thriller directed by Naseef Yusuf Izuddin.
Expectations will be high on ‘Joji’ as the trio of Fahadh, Pothan and Pushkaran have high reputation. Both their previous two films, ‘Maheshinte Prathikaram’ and ‘Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum’, won National awards and were commercially successful.
‘Joji’ has Shyju Khalid as the cinematographer and music by Justin Varghese of ‘Njandukalude Naatil Oridavela’ and ‘Thaneer Mathan Dhinangal’ fame. Editor Kiran Das, costume designer Mashar Hamsa, production designer Gokul Das and make up artist Ronex Xavier form the core technical crew.
Dileesh Pothan-Syam Pushkaran combo’s production company Working Class Hero is backing the film along with Fahadh’s banner, Fahadh Faasil And Friends.
