Aadu Jivetham is one of the most hyped upcoming releases in Malayalam. The main reason behind the hype is the film adaptation of a novel that Malayalis have talked about so much. Directed by Blessy, the Prithviraj starrer will hit the theaters on March 28. Blesy spoke about the challenges of turning a book into a film at a press conference yesterday. But he also shared an interesting piece of information about movie lovers. It is a three and a half hour version of the film.
“One of the most read novels in Kerala, as I have seen a film, the big challenge faced in the writing phase is that everyone who has read Adujeevit will have a visual image in their mind. It is a novel that tells the story of three lives.” years and a half in 43 episodes. If we want to turn it into a film, it will take nine or ten hours. The first edit we shot was three and a half hours. “It’s shortened because we all know you can’t sit in a theater for three and a half hours,” said Blessy. Soon after came Prithviraj’s question whether that version will not be released later. “We can release that later,” Blessy replied.
The director has not said where the three-and-a-half-hour version will be seen, but it is likely to be released as an OTT release. Amala Paul will play Prithviraj’s heroine in the film with music by Oscar award winners AR Rahman and sound mixing by Rasul Pookutty. The film comes under the banner of visual romance. Jimmy Jean-Louis (Hollywood actor), KR Gokul, famous Arab actors Talib Al Balushi and Rickabi play other important roles in the film.
