Actor Joy Mathew said that when he reached the location of 2018, he was sure that it would become a hit film. The sincerity and hard work of director Jude Anthony Joseph was so much. Judd shot the film in neck-deep water for a month. Joy Mathew said that it is not important to enjoy foreign language films, we need the courage to make a film about the events around us and if the film is good, the audience will come to the theater to watch it.
“When I heard the story of 2018, I didn’t think it was a film on such a large scale. But when I went to the location, I realized that this is going to be a big event. Because it was shot after blocking the water in many acres of land. And when I saw the risky shots and the long line of artists, I was sure that this would turn out to be a big film. And Jude’s monstrous confidence. I even came from Kozhikode for the correction of a small word while dubbing. Because I understood his sincerity towards the picture.
He shot for a whole month in neck-deep water. Everyone has struggled. Tovinok has an ear infection. People flock to theaters when films like this come out. It doesn’t matter if you watch foreign language films and get bored, the events around us should be made into films and the audience should come to see them. The movie became a big hit and it is a matter of great happiness.” – says Joy Mathew.
