Jerome’s character introduction teaser was released on Tuesday, and the actor shares his excitement of working in an Indian film. “I can’t quite remember how I got roped into this job, but I’m so glad I did because it was a completely different experience from what I’m used to having over in the UK or the US. To be part of the Malayalam culture of things, to get the taste of that is really special,” said Jerome.

He further added that the film is extra special to him because India was a really important and precious part of his journey. “I spent several years coming over here in my late 20s and early 30s, mostly on spiritual retreats. And the whole experience of being in India has changed my life forever in the best possible way.”

While being tight-lipped about his role in the film, Jerome stated that it’s a significant role in Khureshi’s (played by Mohanlal) journey, and hoped that the audiences will like his character.
