The much-awaited trailer of Aadujeevitham, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, was released on Friday night and has left audiences amazed. The movie is based on the true story of a migrant worker from Kerala, Najeeb, who gets stuck in Saudi Arabia and is forced to herd goats in the desert for survival. Prithviraj’s unrecognisable avatar and performance have left audiences in awe. Reports suggest that the actor lost 24kgs to fit into the role of Najeeb.
The trailer promises to be the next big thing from the Malayalam film industry. The visuals, cinematography, and music look top-notch. Prithviraj Sukumaran shared the trailer of the film on his Instagram and also addressed the leaked scenes, stating that the work on the movie is not finished yet. The film is directed by Blessy and is based on Benyamin’s best-selling novel of the same name. AR Rahman has composed the songs and original score, while KU Mohanan is the director of photography, and A Sreekar Prasad has handled the editing.
Celebrities like Dulquer Salmaan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, and Antony Varghese have praised the trailer, with Antony Varghese even hoping that the movie brings an Oscar award to Malayalam cinema. The release date of the movie is yet to be announced.
