Director Manu Antony has publicly praised actor Joju George for his exceptional performance in the upcoming Malayalam film 'Aja: Sundari'. Antony stated that Joju George's portrayal of the lead character Reji went far beyond what the team had originally written in the script.
Heartfelt Appreciation on Social Media
Taking to his Instagram page, Manu Antony penned a heartfelt note of appreciation for Joju George. He wrote, "When I finished writing the script of 'Aja: Sundari', the main character, Reji, was someone filled with many layers and emotions. Dear Joju Chettan, the character went far beyond what we had written only because of you."
He further added, "I'm very thankful to Joju Chettan for surprising us with your presence and performance. It was an honor to have you with us. Many more great roles are waiting for you!" The post was tagged with Joju George's official account and the film's production house, OPM Cinemas, using the hashtag #ajasundhari.
