"My first film was easy compared to the struggle I had to go through for my second, Mummy and Me."
There were offers to make films like Detective, but Jeethu declined.
"I wanted to do a different film" It was for this reason that, though he had one line scripts of Mummy and Me and Memories ready in 2008, he chose to make Mummy and Me.
His third film My Boss was also a success in theatres.
His other works include Mummy & Me (2010), My Boss (2012), Life of Josutty (2015), Memories (2013), Oozham (2016), Aadhi (2018) and Neru (2023).

A month into the project, a producer evinced interest and took on the production.
