'This is not the real trailer' Aadujeevitham director Blessy opens up about the trailer leak

In a Facebook video National award-winning director Blessy expressed his disappointment with the recent trailer leak for his movie Aadujeevitham .

The team was forced to release a rough cut of the trailer after it was leaked online. The first look trailer for the highly anticipated Aadujeethum was officially released online by actor Prithviraj after the trailer was leaked online.

In the video, Blssey states that this is not the version that he and his team wanted people to see and that they are still in post-production.

Despite the circumstances, the trailer has received universal praise from several actors like Dulquer Salmaan and Aishwarya Lekshmi along with thousand of netizens.

Aadujeevitham has been one of the most anticipated Malayalam movies ever since its announcement five years ago. The movie marked the first collaboration between National Award-winning director Blessy and Prithviraj.

The movie faced many delays in its production due to the global pandemic but finally finished production a few months ago and now the movie has an official release date.

Aadujeevitham is expected to hit theaters worldwide this October, and while that is a long wait time for a movie that has wrapped production, the reason behind it is understandable.

Prithviraj and director Blessy have revealed that they want to promote the movie internationally, especially in Hollywood, and releasing the movie in October during the beginning of the award season makes sense.

Initially, the movie was supposed to premiere at this year's Cannes Film Festival but could not make time for the submission due to delays in post-production.

Aadujeevithum is a survival drama based on the 2008 novel by Benyamin and follows the journey of Najeeb, a Malayalee migrant in Saudi Arabia, who is forced into indentured labor.

The music for the movie is composed by Oscar winner A.R Raham, making it the third Malayalam movie the composer has worked on.

Aadujeevitham is expected to hit theaters worldwide in the latter half of 2023.
