Malayalam actor Basil Joseph will team up with the makers of Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey and Jan-E-Man for his upcoming movie Falimy, which is touted to be a family entertainer helmed by debutant Nithish Sahadev.
The movie was first announced in 2019 with Antony Varghese set to play the lead and director Jude Antony Joseph in line to co-produce it. The delay due to the pandemic, seems to have led to a change in the cast and production team of the movie.

In a recent interview with OTTplay during the OTTplay Changemakers Awards 2023 in Mumbai, Basil said that he is enjoying the current phase of his career as an actor. “Now, I am truly excited about my profile as an actor. Movies like Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey, Paltu Janwar and Jan-e-Man have been lauded by critics and audiences, and it gives me an additional responsibility as an actor as well. I now have to strike a balance between my creative projects as an actor and a director,” he said, after winning the award for Inspiring Filmmaker of the Year.
