I Lost My Properties: Rajasekhar
Joseph is a telugu version of the malayalam film Shekar. Rajasekhar was diagnosed with Covid-19 and hospitalised before beginning the shoot for Shekar. He tells the story. "I believed I was finished." I told my wife jeevitha to sell the telugu remake rights to Joseph. I had warned her that I might not entirely recover. I told her I couldn't act like that anymore. jeevitha assured me that I will be back to normal and behave normally. Rajasekhar recalls saying to his sister, "I'm done." He expresses gratitude to his family, particularly his daughters Shivani and Shivatmika, who took excellent care of him during Covid and helped him recover.
Jeevitha may be Rajasekhar's wife off-screen, but she was the director and called the shots on the sets of Shekar, according to Rajasekhar. "On the sets, jeevitha was a professional director. She'd come to me and request a retake if she wasn't satisfied with what I'd done. 'Bangaram,' she used to call me." "My younger daughter Shivatmika has sacrificed and offered the position to Shivani," Rajasekhar says, adding that both jeevitha and Rajasekhar were confused between Shivani and Shivatmika in casting for their daughter's role in the movie. Shivatmika would like to join me in another film in which she will have a prominent role."
