Blessy directorial ‘Aadujeevitham’ hit the big screens on March 28 after being in the making for almost 16 years. Starring Prithviraj as the protagonist, the film is adapted from the book of the same name authored by Benyamin. For those unaware, the film is based on the life of Kerala man Najeeb who becomes a slave looking after goats in the middle of the vast deserts of the Middle East. He arrives in the Middle Eastern country with hopes of a better job that will take him and his family out of a life of poverty. But what ensued was a life trapped in the desert struggling for necessities and craving the taste of freedom and home.
While much has been said about Prithviraj’s tremendous transformation, to portray the role of Najeeb, actor KR Gokul too underwent a drastic physical transformation to play Hakeem, who, like Najeeb, was trapped in slavery in the desert.
