‘Aadujeevitham’ Pre-Sales Hit 1.25 Crores: Prithviraj and Blessy’s Film Gains Momentum in Kerala

Blessy wrote, directed, and co-produced the upcoming Malayalam survival drama film “Aadujeevitham (The Goat Life)”. Businesses from the United States and India are involved in this international co-production. An exciting cinematic experience is promised in Aadujeevitham, which is set for release on March 28, 2024.

The 2008 Malayalam novel “Aadujeevitham” by Benyamin, which was inspired by true events, has been adapted for the big screen. A Malayali immigrant laborer forced into slavery as a goatherd on a remote Saudi Arabian farm is portrayed in the movie by Prithviraj Sukumaran as Najeeb.

The same year, Prithviraj was cast, and in 2009, Blessy started negotiating with Benyamin and started writing the screenplay. But substantial advancement was hampered by budgetary limitations. After years of effort, Blessy was able to find a producer in 2015, which helped to advance the project. Along with Blessy, producers Jimmy Jean-Louis and Steven Adams also joined. Songs and the film’s original score were composed by A. R. Rahman.

Between March 2018 and July 2022, six schedules were shot in the deserts of Wadi Rum, Jordan, and the Sahara, Algeria, with additional scenes shot in Kerala, India. Because of the crew was forced to spend 70 days in the Jordanian desert from March to May 2020. They were ultimately returned to India via the Vande Bharat Mission evacuation program run by the Indian government. On July 14, 2022, the filming concluded.
