Fahadh Faasil is reteaming for the fourth time with director Dileesh Pothan (Maheshinte Prathikaram, Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum) and writer Syam Pushkaran (Kumbalangi Nights, Maheshinte Prathikaram) for Joji, a film inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
Joji marks the third Indian film based on Macbeth, after Maqbool and Veeram. The film, which is jointly backed by Fahadh’s banner Fahadh Faasil and Friends, Bhavana Studios, and Working Class Hero, went on floors in Kottayam.
It has cinematography by Shyju Khalid (Kumbalangi Nights, Anjaam Pathira) and editing by Kiran Das (Moothon, Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum).
Music is by Justin Varghese (Thanneer Mathan Dinangal, Thottappan), while Gokul Das (Jallikattu, Ennu Ninte Moideen) handles the art direction.
Meanwhile, Fahadh just completed shooting for a new Malayalam film, Irul, which is expected to be out next month. Naseef Yusuf Izuddin makes his directorial debut with the film. Irul has Fahadh sharing the screen with Darshana Rajendran and Soubin Shahir, who have significant roles in the film.
Fahadh also completed shooting for Malik, a big-budget project helmed by Mahesh Narayanan (Take Off, CU Soon).
