Prithviraj and film crew return from Jordan

The 58- strong ' Aadujeevitham' film crew which was stuck at Jordan for over two months due to the coronavirus lockdown returned safely to Kochi on Friday morning. On arrival, they were checked at the airport and have been advised a two-week quarantine as per protocol.

Kerala has been seeing a lot of international arrivals in the last two weeks and it has been on high alert to prevent a surge in Covid-positive cases, which it has controlled very well in the interim phase. This high-profile arrival would certainly put everyone under pressure to see nothing untoward happens.

The film, based on an Award-winning novel by Malayalam author Benyamin talks about the life of a Malayalee migrant who goes abroad in the late 1960s in search of a well-paying job but gets stuck in an unfortunate turn of events from deceit to desperation. For the film team, it was a bitter case of real turning into reel and vice versa in this case.
