Super director Jeethu Joseph is all set for the release of his next Mollywood flick after the gigantic success named Drishyam. His upcoming release film Life of Josootty will hit the screens all over on this September 18th. The flick has been financed and distributed by Eros International and Backwater Studios. It is his second outing with Dileep in the lead after the success of his previous film with this actor which was My Boss that came to us a few years back.
Jeethu’s previous Malayalam release was Drishyam in 2013 December which hit the screens becoming the greatest success that ever happened in the Malayalam film industry. The movie also introduced the 50 crore club in Mollywood and had done a total business of more than 75 crores which was unattainable to Mollywood even in its wildest dreams before the success of Drishyam.
That had made the film to go all around India and was appreciated as well. The two factors behind the success of the film was its script by Jeethu himself and the cast which had the Complete actor Mohanlal in the lead. Mohanlal as an actor and as a star brings magic on screen and this time with a perfect script he cast the magic spell of his on the audience which paved the way for the film to be the greatest hit in Mollywood.
The flick had been remade into four different Indian languages then and became successful. All versions were super success at box office including the Tamil version with Kamal Haasan which was made by Jeethu himself. But now Jeethu in a recent media interview said that he is very unhappy with the casting of Drishyam in its Hindi version which had released the last of the series. He said that he was offered to direct the Hindi version too but as he was not at all happy with the casting in Hindi he did not took that offer and continued with his next project in Mollywood.
Jeethu said that in Mollywood and Kollywood the film got the best actors from both industries to play the lead. In Kannada and Telugu too they did justice. But in Hindi it was not at all apt casting and many people who watched it felt that too.
