Nadiya Moidu and Joju George on working together in Amazon Prime’s ‘Putham Pudhu Kaalai Vidiyaadha’
The Hindu
The actors play a couple in Madhumitha’s ‘Mouname Paarvayaai’, one of the five short films in the feel-good anthology
Many actors across film industries had a quiet last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Not Joju George. He was prolific and had been part of eight Malayalam releases including Lijo Jose Pellissery’s eerie supernatural thriller Churuli, Martin Prakkat’s political drama Nayattu, and Mahesh Narayanan’s Malik. Thanks to the recent popularity of Malayalam cinema, Joju is not just an acclaimed Malayalam actor. Last year, he also made his Tamil debut with Karthik Subbaraj’s Dhanush-starrer Jagame Thanthiram.
Meanwhile, missing in action from Tamil films for a while is Nadiya. After Thiraikku Varadha Kathai, a Tamil-Malayalam bilingual in 2016, she has not acted in a Tamil film. “I don’t know why,” she replies when asked about the reason for the long break, “It’s just that I got busy in Telugu. Nothing exciting came my way in Tamil. But I am working on a Tamil-Telugu bilingual film right now.”
Both actors unite for Madhumitha’s short film, Mouname Paarvayaai, in Amazon Prime Video’s Putham Pudhu Kaalai Vidiyaadha, an anthology set during the COVID-19 pandemic.
