One of the top stars in the industry, actor Prithviraj has flown to Jordan to shooting for his much-awaited film, Aadujeevitham in Wadi Rum, braving the Coronavirus scare conditions, much before the pandemic shook the world in its full form. As the situations continued to worsen, the crew had no way to return and hence continued to shoot the remaining portions of the film as the team had already landed in the country.
But as the situations worsened, the Jordan King had imposed severe rules, thus ultimately stalling the shoot. The crew could also not return back to India. They have reached out to the Government for help in returning back.
Hence, Prithviraj's family is missing him, especially on these festive occasions, and his wife's latest post is a proof of the same. Supriya Menon Prithviraj shares, "This picture was taken during last Vishu. We had an amazing lunch that day with the families of all those who help us be who we are, day in and day out. This year our family like many others is split apart by thousands of miles due to corona virus and the subsequent lockdown. However, We still hope and pray that all of us can be united with our loved ones really soon." This is not the case for only celebrities, but also for the millions of migrants who cannot fly back and forth during important festive occasions due to Coronavirus lockdown bans.

Actor Prithviraj underwent massive transformation to get into the skin of the character where he is expected to be seen as a migrant worker Najeeb, who is forced to work as a shepherd under life threatening conditions.
Helmed by Blessy, the film is based on the celebrated novel of the same name by Benyamin. Aadujeevitham will see composer AR Rahman's return to Malayalam cinema after two decades since the 1992 film Yodha.
