PRITHVIRAJ AND BLESSY TO TEAM UP FOR THE FIRST TIME?

There's been quite a bit of speculation surrounding director Blessy's next. The film, titled Aadujeevitham, is based on the acclaimed novel by Benyamin. While a lot of names had been going around, with regard to who will be playing the lead character, with initial rumours going around that Mohanlal will be signed on. However, we hear now that the actor will not be part of the project, reportedly due to date issues and as recent reports suggest, the director has signed on Prithviraj.

 

The film narrates the story of a man from Malappuram named Najim Muhammed who goes to Saudi Arabia. Though landing in the Islamic country with his eyes full of dreams, ends up in dire straits, eventually ending up as a goat herder. Blessy is known for his hard-hitting and emotional films, and this one sure looks like it's going to be a signature Blessy fare. 

 

Although no official announcement has been made by the director, Prithviraj has supposedly been talking about his involvement in the film. The screenplay of the film has been done by TS Suresh Babu, while the music will be handled by popular music director Ouseppachan. Aadujeevitham is expected to go on the floors early next year.
