On his birthday, Malayalam film actor Joju George unveiled the first look poster of Varavu, directed by Shaji Kailas. The film combines the strength of the Malabar region with intense action-thriller elements, featuring Joju in the lead role. Several stars, including Suresh Gopi, extended birthday wishes and shared the poster on their social media handles.
The poster shows Joju intensely staring through a shattered jeep windshield, signalling that Varavu will be a high-octane experience. Released with the tagline “Game of Survival”, the first look encapsulates the essence of the film. Set against the backdrop of the Malabar region, Varavu revolves around the life struggles of a character named Polly, also known as Polachan. The first look hints at the signature “Joju magic” audiences can expect.
