Joju George pens a note of gratitude on the first year anniversary of Joseph

Today marks the first year anniversary of the release of ‘Joseph’ – a film that turned out to be the biggest surprise hit of 2018. The film’a huge success changed fortunes for its lead actor Joju George, who soon was flooded with projects. Just a while back, Joju took to his social media handle to thank the audience and all the team members of ‘Joseph’.

Directed by M Padmakumar, ‘Joseph’ is a crime drama that exposed the organized organ mafia operating in the state. Shahi Kabeer, a real-life policeman, scripted the film that had Joju as an efficient police constable. His stellar performance was unanimously praised and won him the Kerala State Award for next character actor and a special mention at the National level.

Though ‘Joseph’ was originally planned with some other leading stars, none of them materialized and the offer eventually reached Joju’s hands. At the half way stage, he also took up the film’s production due to financial constraints. But it now looks like all that proved to be advantageous for Joju.

Post-Joseph, Joju’s career saw a steep rise as offers started pouring in and he was signed to play lead roles in big projects. He was also roped in by Tamil filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj to do a prominent role in his upcoming film alongside Dhanush. ‘Joseph’ will always be remembered as the film that showed the true potential of Joju.

The Priyadarshan directorial ‘Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham’ is scheduled to hit screens only in March 2020 but talks regarding its release have already started online. Since it is the most expensive Malayalam film ever made, there are a lot of expectations on it. Currently, there is a buzz around that the makers are planning to release the film in IMAX format.

If the news turns out to true, it will be a first in Malayalam. However, it must be noted that there are only 15 IMAX screens in India and none so far in Kerala.

Kunjali Marakkar was the title given to the naval chief of Zamorin of Calicut in the 16th century, whose duty was to protect the coast against the invading Portuguese army. Superstar Mohanlal plays the lead role of Kunjali Marakkar IV.

The cast also includes several other big stars from across the country.
