We’re planning to make Aadujeevitham as the biggest global venture that Mollywood has ever come up with: Prithviraj

Prithviraj’s Aadujeevitham is one of the most talked about projects in recent times. This ambitious project to be helmed by ace filmmaker Blessy has been in the planning for some time now. Few months back, Prithviraj had announced that the movie will go on floors in November this year and will be shot over a span of two years.

Aadujeevitham is based on Benyamin’s award winning novel of the same name, which is about the life of an abused migrant worker in Saudi Arabia. In a recent interview to Film Companion, Prithviraj had spilled beans about how the project is shaping up and their idea to make it as a global venture.

He is quoted saying, “Aadujeevitham is a film that is rooted in Malayalam but has a content that will appeal to anybody. Our dream is to make it as the biggest ever global venture that Malayalam cinema has ever come up with. The movie will be made in Malayalam and Hindi. We are trying to make sure that it travels the world as a production from Malayalam.

Prithviraj is one of the very few actors who are willing to go to any extent to get into the skin of a particular character. Be it developing a chiselled physique to play a stunt man in Diphan’s Hero or learning deep sea diving for playing his part in Anarkali, the actor is game for all.

On similar lines, Prithviraj will be undergoing drastic physical changes for Aadujeevitham. It is about the life of an abused migrant worker in Saudi Arabia. The protagonist Najeeb Mohammed undergoes lot of physical changes in the course of the movie.

To perfect the looks, Prithviraj has alloted nearly one and half years of dates in between his busy career. He has alloted dates from November this year to March 2019 for Aadujeevitham.

The movie will be shot in various schedules through the time span of which he will be undergoing multiple physical transformations. In between the schedules he will be working on his much awaited directorial debut Lucifer, starring Mohanlal in the lead.
