Star Jam with Vijay Babu | RJ Rafi
In this Star Jam episode, RJ Rafi sits down with Vijay Babu for a candid, no‑filter conversation on Aadu 3, filmmaking, and living with risk as a producer. From shooting Aadu across 50+ locations in 120+ days to balancing creative vision and budget, Vijay shares how he greenlights scripts, works with newcomers, and still dares to experiment even when the math looks scary. He opens up about breaking even before release, OTT and satellite deals, why promotion and word of mouth can make or break a film, and how Aadu became one of Malayalam cinema’s most-loved franchises. The chat also dives into Vinayakan’s professionalism on set, the evolution of actors like Indrans, and why managing egos and expectations is as important as managing money.
Perfect for anyone who loves Malayalam cinema, wants to understand the business behind the movies, or is curious how a “flop” can still give a producer the courage to try again
