About Aadujeevatham
Aadujeevitham is adapted from a book by the same name written by Benyamin, which itself was taken from a real life story that happened in the 1990s. The film revolves around a migrant laborer who goes to Saudi Arabia in search for jobs, but is forced into slavery as a goat herder. How his life eventually merges with the lives of the goats, and how he escapes from the desert forms the crux of the story.
It wouldn’t be far-fetched to call Aadujeevitham one of the most ambitious projects in Malayalam cinema till date. Blessy, the film’s director wanted to adapt it into a film in 2008 as soon as he read the book. However, the film found itself in a development hell, with the shoot only commencing a decade later in 2018. It is after battling the extreme climate, difficulties and even the pandemic, when the crew was stuck in a desert, that the film is now slated for release in March.
The film has received a U/A certification from the CBFC, and will be having a runtime of 2 hours and 52 minutes.
