Initially delayed due to the pandemic, the team found themselves in the scorching heat of Jharkhand in May, facing temperatures soaring to 51-52 degrees. 


The team had to take safety measures similar to miners to protect themselves, turning the shoot into what felt like "going to war." Despite the extreme circumstances, the team embraced the challenge, mirroring the resilience of the miners they were portraying.


Speaking of extreme weather conditions director Devashish said, , “As a result of Covid we had to push our shoot to May last year, which is the hottest month of the year in the hottest state of the country, Jharkhand. In the iron ore mines which is the hottest, dustiest and most extreme place with no green cover in Jharkhand. It was 51-52 degrees. The day we began shoot there was a terrible sandstorm. And this is not mud or soil, it’s rusted ferrous oxide. It was an inhabitable atmosphere.”


Despite the challenges, Makhija expresses determination, stating, “We arguably maybe the first Indian film to shoot inside a working iron ore mine. Nothing prepares you to shoot in such extreme conditions. But we were a determined group and we did our best.” 


Manoj Bajpayee shared his thoughts as he added, “We faced unpredictable challenges in Jharkhand while shooting. We had to take necessary precautions to protect ourselves from these extreme conditions. I’m so proud of the cast and crew, and also the local production team who put in incredible efforts. They did an amazing job, and their hard work made our project special, even with the tough situations we had to deal with.”


As 'Joram' gears up for a December 8 release, the film promises an intense portrayal of survival, with Manoj Bajpayee in a commanding role as a father on the run. The trailer, already causing a stir nationwide, sets the stage for a groundbreaking collaboration between Bajpayee and Makhija.
