Faasil said he decided to board the project the moment he understood his character’s journey in ”Joji”. ”I give myself enough time to understand my character and essentially become it, but Joji is one such character that had an edge to it which made the role interesting and appealing to me. ”I am excited that with ‘Joji’ premiering on Amazon Prime Video, viewers across the globe will be able to enjoy our crime drama,” the 38-year-old actor said.
For Pothan, reuniting with his long-time collaborator in ”Joji” was fruitful and the director hoped that the the film will keep audiences ”hooked till the end.” ”It was an amazing experience to work with such a brilliant and hardworking team. Every actor embraced their characters so beautifully,” he added. Written by Syam Pushkaran, ”Joji” is produced by Bhavana Studios in association with Fahadh Faasil and Friends and Working Class Hero.
