The trio of Syam Pushkaran, Dileesh Pothan and Fahadh Faasil are teaming up yet again. The official announcement regarding their new film ‘Joji’ was made just a while back. Dileesh Pothan will be directing the film and Fahadh Faasil will be seen playing the lead role. Interestingly, Syam Pushkaran has adapted the script from Willaim Shakespeare’s famous play, ‘Macbeth’.

Dileesh Pothan-Syam Pushkaran combo’s production company Working Class Hero is backing the film along with Fahadh’s banner, Fahadh Faasil And Friends. Last year, they had produced the superhit film ‘Kumbalangi Nights’.

Editor Kiran Das, costume designer Mashar Hamsa, production designer Gokul Das, production controller Benny Kattapana and make up artist Ronex Xavier are also part of the technical crew. The makers are eyeing to start shooting by the end of this year.

Fahadh Faasil, Dileesh Pothan and Syam Pushkaran were supposed to work together in another film titled ‘Thankam’. It was to be directed by ‘Theeram’ fame Saheed Arafath with Syam Pushkaran as the scenarist. Fahadh, Joju George and Dileesh Pothan were announced as the lead actors. Shoot for the film was scheduled to begin by mid-2020 but it got delayed due to the pandemic. Since the film is set mostly outside Kerala, the makers have decided to shelve it for now.
