Jeethu Joseph Ropes In Biju Menon For His Next

Biju Menon has ruled 2016 with critically acclaimed ‘Leela’, ‘Anuraga Karikkin Vellam’, ‘Marubhoomiyile Aana’, ‘Olappeeppi’ and ‘Swarna Kaduva’. At present, the actor is gearing up for scriptwriter-turned-filmmaker Ranjan Pramod’s next, reportedly titled ‘Rakshadikari Baiju’. Meanwhile, M-town is abuzz with the reports of filmmaker Jeethu Joseph teaming up with Biju. Apparently, Biju has got a host of projects to look after.

Touching upon the project, Joseph was quoted as saying, “Yes, the project is on, but we have not decided on a timeline during which it would go on floors. Currently, the scripting work is progressing and I am busy with a few other films, including the one that stars Pranav Mohanlal in the lead”. Joseph was asked if his upcoming project would delay by at least a year. To this, he replied, “No. If the script gets ready, we might even go ahead with the movie without much delay. But we aren't at a stage when more of details about the project can be confirmed”.

According to reports, Joseph’s project is based on the book 'Thaskaran: Maniyan Pillayude Athmakadha'. The book is the autobiography of Maniyan Pilla, a small-time Kollam-based thief who turned into a millionaire and lost everything later, when he was about to become an MLA and minister. The autobiography was penned by G.R. Indugopan, who is also writing the script for the film.
