Prithviraj: I could connect with Najeeb's staunch focus on faith

Prithviraj is currently on a break as part of losing weight and getting into the mindset to play the character in Blessy’s Aadujeevitham. The movie, based on Benyamin’s novel, has Prithviraj playing the character Najeeb.
On what attracted him to the character, the actor tells us, “I am not a very pious person, but there is something about Najeeb’s staunch focus on faith that I kind of understand.I guess my focus is mostly cinema and work. Supriya would tell you that when I am at work, I am only tuned in to that and nobody can talk to me. I get that with Najeeb’s faith. Also, the very interesting angle about thing is that for three years if a human communicates and interacts more with animals than men, who do you become one amongst? It’s an interesting physical, physiological and spiritual journey for the character. I hope all that comes through in the film and my performance.”
Further on the movie, the actor says that it’s a big film and “we are taking a zero-compromise approach for the film”. “I resume filming for Aadujeevitham from beginning of March till September in Jordan, Egypt and some portions in India. Every other film will start only after that,” he says.
