Joju George to play a 75-year-old Alzheimer’s patient in Jillam Peppare

After the success of ‘Joseph’, Joju George has been getting several meaty projects. He will be next seen as a 75-year-old Alzheimer’s patient in ‘Jillam Peppare’. Joju plays a chenda artiste’s role in the film and the story traverses two phases of his life — from the ages of 35-40 and from 70-75. Needless to say, it is a performance oriented role and Joju is expected to deliver a fine act.

‘Jillam Peppare’ marks the directorial debut of Josh, who was former assistant to Major Ravi. The film is inspired from the real lives of many percussion artistes. The makers have tried to address the reception that each band of artists get. This film is about percussionists, their love for sound and their lives.

Apart from Joju George, the cast also includes Major Ravi, Shehin Siddique, singer Anju Brahmasmi, percussionist Attam Sarath, Sheetal Shyam and Raaga in important roles. Major Ravi is also producing the film along with Santhosh T Kuruvila. The former’s son Arjun Ravi cranks the camera and music is by Manikandan Ayyappa.
