Jayasurya is known to take up the unimaginable characters in his hand and turn it into gold. Yet again, he has done the same with his next film ‘Njan Marykutty’. The versatile actor will be seen playing a transsexual personality in the film. In the recently released trailer, we can see him going through an emotional journey and fighting for his rights in the society. For those who are Jayasurya fans, you will be pleasantly surprised to watch him mould into the character effortlessly as always. The trailer also highlights the major issue where people ignorantly tend to confuse the difference between transgenders and transsexuals.

The trailer launch was launched by five transwomen namely Renju Renjimar, make-up artist, Zara Sheikh, IT professional, Thripthy Shetty, entrepreneur, Sheethal Shyam, social activist and Riya, legal advisor, all of whom are Malayalis. It also has to be noted how Mollywood has got proudly accustomed to the transsexual or transgender make up artists who work with renowned actors.

This is not the first time that a mainstream Malayalam actor has draped a saree in a movie. Before Jayasurya, actors like Dileep and Unni Mukundan did a brilliant job of moving around effortlessly in it. Also, there have been a few noted films in which the actors have played the characters of transgenders as well as transsexual. However, this is for the first time that a full-fledged film revolves around the plot. Needless to say, the fans are going gaga over the trailer and it won’t be wrong if we say that all that buzz around the film is absolutely justified.

The film is directed by Ranjith Shankar and is slated to release on June 15. The fans are in love with Jayasurya once again. Do let us know your take on the same in the comments section below.
