“This movie to me is like a dream come true. I became a part of this movie in 2017.
I sent them my photos and got a call in 2 days, asking me to come down to Kochi immediately and that the audition is tomorrow,” Gokul KR said, recalling how he landed in the film.
Speaking about his journey as Hakkim, he added, “I found Hakkim's character very similar to myself. Just like me, he had many dreams to be fulfilled. I could see many similarities between us. How would he walk, sit, or eat his food, sleep. I thought of all these factors and tried living a similar life. The character's physical transformation after three years was really a tough process.”
The makers shared the video and said, “Meet Hakeem, Najeeb’s faithful companion who shared a remarkable journey of friendship and survival.”

ETimes rated ‘Aadujeevitham’ 4 out of 5 and wrote, “You don’t see Prithviraj the superstar in Aadujeevitham. Thanks to the real Najeeb’s presence during the movie promotions, you can see that the actor has brought to life on screen the character on whose life the story is based. What to say about Prithviraj, except that he lives the character and is superb as Najeeb, who is completely lost and at wit’s end in this unfamiliar region? Quite apart from the stunning body transformation, he brings the right mix of innocence and vulnerability to the role.”
