Jayasurya’s wife Saritha is a costume designer well known for the outfits she had designed for her husband in films such as Punyalan Agarbathis, Fukri, Su Su Sudhi Valmeekam, and Pretham.She had also designed the costumes for the film film Njan Marykutty, which has been well received by all.

The film has Jayasurya playing the lead role with Jewel Mary, Innocent, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Aju Varghese and Joju George in the star cast.

Njan Marykutty has gone into the post production mode and it will hit the silver screens on June 15th. Director Ranjith Shankar and Jayasurya have worked together in four films - Punyalan Agarbattis, Su.. Su… Sudhi Vathmeekam, Pretham and Punyalan Private Limited – so far and Njan Marykutty is their fifth venture together.
