Joji was the most challenging role so far: Fahadh Faasil

New Delhi: Ace actor Fahad Faasil says that Joji has been his most challenging role so far, as the movie, as well as the entire team, gathers acclaims and appreciations from spectators ever since its release.

"By far 'Joji' is the most difficult character," Fahadh told IANS. "I have read 'Macbeth' to be very unstable from within even if he looks strong. This is my approach and take. It was difficult to bring the entire instability. I have tried to make Macbeth a little familiar. I don't think there are any humans without greed and ambition. That is an emotion everyone connects to. I have tried to explore that aspect of Macbeth," he adds.

"I took a long time to crack Joji as a character; it's definitely my toughest role to date. It was tougher than my last film with Dileesh. Even Dileesh said that this was the toughest film he has shot," said Fahadh.

The film, directed by Dileesh Pothan and written by Shyam Pushkaran, was inspired by Shakespeare's "Macbeth". The movie features Baburaj, Shammi Thilakan, Alistair Alex, Unnimaya Prasad, Basil Joseph and Sunny PN in frontline roles.

The film, released on Amazon Prime Video last week, was Fahadh Faazil's third outing with Dileesh Pothan after "Maheshinte Prathikaaram" and award-winning "Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum".
