Director Jeethu Joseph has been known for directing Malayalam hits like Drishyam, My Boss, Aadhi, Memories etc and Tamil movies like Kamal Haasan starrer Papanasam and the recently released Karthi - Jyothika starrer Thambi.

Jeethu had recently started his next Malayalam movie Ram starring Mohanlal and Trisha, and the shooting of the movie had been stopped due to the lockdown. In recent times, there were reports making rounds that Jeethu Joseph is planning to drop Ram and start a new project with a different cast.

Clarifying on the rumours, Jeethu Joseph has posted on Facebook "In the last two three days I have been getting calls and messages asking whether I have shelved my Mohanlal movie 'RAM' and planning another project. We had to stop the work of 'RAM' due to the spread of Covid Virus, but it will resume shoot once the virus threat is down in UK and Uzbekistan. Since kerala is one of the few places in the world where Corona has been controlled effectively, its likely to start the shoot early here. Considering this possibility, in the meantime I am thinking of a film which has its shoot entirely in kerala but this doesn't mean in any way that I have abandoned the project 'RAM'. It's just being delayed due to the circumstances.Jeethu Joseph."
