In the film, Joju plays the role of a dalit policeman ASI Maniyan. Actors Kunchakco Boban and Nimisha Sajayan are seen in the role of his juniors.

The film sees them get into trouble over a local political matter. The consequences of that could change their lives.

Nayattu released on Netflix on May 9. The film was lauded by audiences and critics alike.

Joju will next be seen in Peace. The actor plays an older version in the movie. He also has Thuramukham and Malik in the pipeline. Joju and Nayattu director Ahammed Khabeer have also collaborated for Madhuram.
