Director Jeethu Joseph who is widely known for his thriller film Drishyam is all set to direct superstar Mohanlal and Trisha Krishnan is an intriguing film titled Ram. However, there has been a strong buzz in the industry that the director has dropped the film starring Mohanlal and Trisha in lead roles. 

Now, in a Facebook post, Thambi director Joseph has clarified that the film is still in the works. Taking to his Facebook account wrote, "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-19 Virus, but it will resume shoot once the virus threat is down in the UK and Uzbekistan. Since Kerala is one of the few places in the world where Corona has been controlled effectively, it is 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."

Strong speculations were going around in the south film industry about the future of the film. Clearly, after the clarification issued by Jeethu fans and film audiences are relieved that the Mohanlal and Trisha Krishnan starrer is still on. In addition to this, the director also mentioned that he is working on another project which will be shot completely in Kerala, details of which are under wrap.
