Gokul, a native of Kozhikode, secured the role through auditions. Blessy was confident that this innocent 18-year-old boy would do justice to the character of Hakim.
ust as Prithviraj underwent a significant physical transformation to become Najeeb, Gokul too went through a similar transformation. He increased his body weight to 64 kgs and later reduced it to 44 kgs for the role, drawing inspiration from Christian Bale's performance in 'The Machinist'.
Gokul believes that 'Aadujeevitham' is not solely the story of Najeeb and Hakim but also a tribute to all those who tragically lost their lives in the desert.
