Rajesh Nair’s next film is a family thriller, shot abroad

After Thrissur Pooram, director Rajesh Nair is back with a family thriller, starring Joju George. The movie, which is a big-budget film that will be shot across three countries, will go on floors next year, says the director, who has also penned the story based on a real-life incident. Its script is by Muhad Vembayam.“Joju plays an expat medical representative in the film,” says Rajesh, and explains, “He will be appearing in a younger, trimmer look in the movie. His character is that of the father of two kids and someone who sweats it out abroad, for his family. Joju will be training to get the character’s look right, and the planning for the same is going on currently.”The director says the film would be a full-on entertainer, in which the protagonist’s wife’s character would also be an important one. “We haven’t finalised who would essay the role, yet,” he adds.
