As the much-anticipated release date of Prithviraj Sukumaran’s ‘Aadujeevitham’ approaches, excitement for the survival drama is reaching new heights. Resul Pookutty, the film’s sound designer, recently provided a sneak peek into the meticulous sound design process, offering a glimpse into the immersive auditory experience awaiting viewers.
Renowned for his exceptional work, Pookutty shared insights into the emotional resonance achieved through the film’s audio elements. In a tweet, he expressed admiration for the collaboration with maestro A.R. Rahman and director Blessy, describing every frame as an “emotional rollercoaster.” He praised Prithviraj Sukumaran and Amala Paul for their contributions.
In a friendly exchange on social media, Prithviraj Sukumaran responded to Pookutty’s tweet by praising him as a “genius at work.” Pookutty playfully downplayed the compliment, stating that Prithviraj can be “very generous” at times.
‘Aadujeevitham,’ adapted from Benyamin’s novel, depicts the harrowing journey of Najeeb, a Kerala laborer turned goat herder in Saudi Arabia. The narrative explores Najeeb’s struggle against the harsh realities of slavery in a foreign land as he strives to reclaim his life.
The film, slated for release on April 10, has already generated considerable anticipation with teaser releases and impactful posters. Pookutty’s revelation about the emotional depth of the sound design adds another layer of anticipation for what is expected to be a compelling cinematic experience.
