Blessy's Aadujeevitham is the film that Malayali people have been waiting for years. One of the most popular Malayalam novels of all time, Benyamin's Aadujeevitham, is being made into a movie, with Prithviraj playing the lead role. Prithvi's dedications and makeovers for the film had already gained a lot of attention. The trailer that was released the other day indicates that Malayalam cinema will be marked by Atudujeetu in front of world cinema.
Now Prithviraj says that he had to avoid many films as an actor and director, along with the physical change that occurred during the last four years. But Prithviraj says that, when compared to director Blessy, his is not a sacrifice. Prithvi's response was in an interview given to The Cue.
These are the words of Prithviraj. "My last few years of life have been designed because of 'Aadujeevitham'. Aadujeevitham can only be filmed at one time of the year because of the desert climate. Every year around that time, months before I start growing my beard, I start to lose some of the fat. People have been asking me what I've been doing with the beard for the past few days. I can only estimate the time gap by looking at the exact time gap. Everything is planned for the last four years starting in 2018, with that time set aside for sheep life. Therefore, many foreign language films have not been able to be done by an actor or director. Saying this will make me feel like I have made a huge sacrifice. But it was in 2008 that Blessy talked to me about this film. After that, he only did the movie Clay. It was only because we could shoot at that time due to Shweta's pregnancy that we could. Even in 2008, Blessy is still one of the best directors in Malayalam. Go to any actor and tell him about the film; they will willingly give him a date and do the film. These 14 years were the peak of his career. Yet he put it aside for this one film. My sacrifice is nothing compared to that".
