Malayalam filmmaker Dileesh Pothan’s Joji, which is currently streaming on Amazon Prime, has been receiving positive reviews from audience and critics. Actor Gajraj Rao took to social media to praise the team of Joji and lauded them for consistently bringing out good work.

In his post, he also took a dig at Hindi cinema and the industry’s obsession with ‘soulless remakes’ and marketing gimmicks. He proclaimed himself as the chairman of Fahadh Faasil Fan Club (Northern Region).

Gajraj Rao wrote, “Dear Dileesh Pothan and other Malayalam filmmakers (especially Fahadh Faasil & Friends), I recently watched ‘Joji’ and I’m sorry to say this, but I have a bone to pick with all of you. Enough is enough. It is not fair that you are constantly coming up with original ideas and executing them with utmost sincerity, making actually good cinema. You need to learn a thing or two from other regional cinema, and especially us here in Hindi. You need to do some mediocre work also. Where are the tiring marketing campaigns and promotions? Where are the soulless remakes? Where is the obsession with weekend box office collections? This is too much.”

He further said: “I hope you will not take any of this seriously, and continue the good work you are doing. In a non-pandemic world, I’ll always be ready with the popcorn for your films, first day first show.”
