The shoot for the film Njan Marykutty has wrapped up and the makers have announced that the movie will be hitting the big screens on June 15. Jayasurya, well known for his extraordinary acting skills, is expected to have come up with a fine performance in this movie. Jewel Mary, Innocent, Joju George, Aju Varghese, and Suraj Venjaramoodu are also part of this movie’s cast. Jayasurya impressed many with his acting chops in movies like Aadu 2, which was a blockbuster and Captain, a sports biopic on the late footballer V P Sathyan. This is yet another time Jayasurya and Ranjith Sankar are uniting for a project.

The teaser of the film was released on March 10 with the tagline of the film “His story is hers too” and needless to say, the teaser has grabbed many eyeballs.

Njan Marykutty will address the issues faced by trans people. Jayasurya looks totally different in the new look proving that there is no end to experimentation in the world of cinema.

The movie has the actor playing Marykutty, a man who is a woman in mind and body, who has gone through a sex change surgery. The actor assured that the movie will not hurt the trans community but will instead be a gift for them. For decades, the members of the trans community have been largely misrepresented in Indian films. They are usually portrayed  as unlikable and vicious characters on the big screen. However, things have been changing with time as some of the leading actors have been changing this perception by choosing to tell the stories of the members of this community. We will have to wait and watch how the film and Jayasurya contribute towards representing trans people.
