The core of Jio Baby has managed to create a huge buzz in the theatres. Now, director Jio Baby has spoken about the choice of character. In an exclusive interview with Reporter Live, director Kathal opened his mind about the film. Jyotika was not the first choice. We saw many people and talked to some. They could not come at that time. So Jyothika is the suggestion put forward by Mammooka. We were all happy to hear that. So he decided to go and talk to Jyothika. The Mammootty company has done all the things for that,”
Jyothika told us to come after reading the synopsis and liking it. He narrated the story in Tamil and English which we know. Paulson and Adarsh narrated the story. Jyothika was enjoying it all. Jyothika liked the story as soon as she heard it,’ the director clarifies. Another thing, ‘Mammooka was not the only one who directed Jyotika to the film. Kalabhavan Hanif acted as a judge in the movie. Mammooka was asking here to give Hanifika a role. He is not with us today. Apart from Muthumani and Chinnu Chandini, he himself suggested many people seen and unseen by the audience. I always watch short films. Its actors are noted. So when I make a note and go to show it to Mammooka, Mammooka will show the same people here. They have all been a part of this film.’
