their
seats.
Directed

Inspired
by
Shakespeare's
tragedy
Macbeth,
the
movie
presents
a
twisted
version
of
a
plot
filled
with
greed,
ambition,
murder
and
mystery.
The
story
revolves
around
Joji,
an
engineering
dropout
and
the
youngest
son
of
the
rich
plantation
family
who
lives
with
his
aspirations
of
becoming
a
super-wealthy
NRI.
But
his
father
sees
down
on
him
and
thinks
of
him
as
nothing
more
than
a
loser.
Driven
by
greed
and
blind
ambition,
Joji
finally
decides
to
execute
his
plans
following
an
unexpected
event
in
the
family.

global
premiere
award-winning
actor
Fahadh
Faasil
says,
"The
moment
I
got
to
know
about
my
character
and
his
journey,
I
knew
I
had
to
be
a
part
of
the
movie.
I
love
to
watch
movies
with
unconventional
plot
twists,
and
Joji
definitely
packs
in
some
surprises.
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

excitement
for
the
same,

Pothan
says,
"As
a
filmmaker,
I
enjoy
telling
stories,
and
every
film
has
its
own
journey.
Joji
is
a
special
film,
the
story
will
keep
audiences
hooked
till
the
end.
With
Joji,
I
also
reunited
with
a
fine
actor
like
Fahadh.
It
was
an
amazing
experience
to
work
with
such
a
brilliant
and
hardworking
team.
Every
actor
embraced
their
characters
so
beautifully."

join
the
thousands
of
TV
shows

from
Hollywood
and
Bollywood
