Director Statement

“Joji is not a complete adaptation of Macbeth. We decided on a couple of things when zeroed in on the plot and scripting was done – that we would leave aside Macbeth’s structure, view it independently and let it grow organically as a film. After the plot was formed, we completely focused on whatever is needed for the development of the plot, without bothering about the structure of Macbeth. It’s an effort to make a movie out of the inspiration we had from Macbeth”
