Director Jeethu Joseph denies rumours about Mohanlal's RAM being shelved!

He revealed that the shooting of RAM has been put on hold because of the current circumstances, just like any other film, and added that the film is not shelved. Since RAM is being shot on a large scale in foreign countries like Uzbekistan, he said that they have to wait for a few more months for the situation to get better there. Meanwhile, he is thinking of doing a quickie that will be shot entirely in Kerala, as the situation looks quite better here.

Director Jeethu Joseph denies rumours about Mohanlal's RAM being shelved!

He posted, “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.” Check out the social media post below:
