'Vadakkan' is also set to be presented in May at this year's Cannes in the Marché Du Film, a film market held under the auspices of the Festival De Cannes.
Tasked with navigating audience expectations and perceptions, Blessy has managed deviations or interpretations of the original fairly well, crafting a classic survival drama out of 'Aadujeevitham', only touching upon Najeeb's goat life partially.
Produced by Visual Romance, 'Aadujeevitham' also features Amala Paul, K.R. Gokul, as well as Hollywood actor Jimmy Jean-Louis and Arab actors Talib al Balushi and RikAby in pivotal roles.
The Malayalam film follows the real-life story of Najeeb (Sukumaran), a Malayali immigrant labourer who finds himself forced into slavery as a goatherd in the secluded farm of Saudi Arabia.
With its grand scale and high expectations, the film is anticipated to be one of the biggest hits in Prithviraj's career.
The shooting was completed after a span of five years in 2023, making it the longest production period for a Malayalam film.
Prithviraj plays the protagonist Najeeb in the film, which is based on the award-winning novel of the same name by Benyamin.
Prithviraj himself attended the premiere, joining the makers who have been actively promoting the movie through extensive campaigns.
The actor-director said ‘Aadujeevitham’ will be a benchmark for other filmmakers on what they can do to fulfill their vision.
Originally scheduled for release at 12:00 PM IST, there was a slight delay, and the trailer premiered an hour later, at 1:00 PM.
