Aadujeevitham trailer: Prithviraj Sukumaran impresses in Blessy’s hard-hitting film

Aadujeevitham has been filmed in Algeria, Jordan and India. After wrapping the film’s shoot, Prithviraj had shared a few pictures from the sets of the movie and had written, “14 years, a thousand obstacles, a million challenges, three waves of a pandemic…one spectacular vision!”

The production of Aadujeevitham was interrupted due to the outbreak of Covid-19. The cast and crew of the movie were left stranded in an isolated part of Wadi Rum desert in Jordan as the world went into lockdown to contain the spread of coronavirus. The film crew had no means to return to India for about three months. In May 2020, Prithviraj and the other crew members flew back to India from Amman on a repatriation flight organised by the Indian government.

Talking about the film, director Blessy told Deadline, “I have to pinch myself frequently to remember that it is not just a film, it is the true story of someone’s life. A story of a simple dream for a better life gone awry. It is a tragedy that the innocent do frequently get taken advantage of. But what egged me the last nine years to make this film is because the story to me was not in this tragedy. It was in the strength of the human spirit that I saw, to survive all odds, and to somehow get back to what Najeeb held sacred through his tortured, addled mind.”

Aadujeevitham also stars Amala Paul. Academy Award winner AR Rahman has composed the music for the movie.

The makers are yet to announce the release date of Aadujeevitham.
