Talking about the film, director Blessy told Deadline, “I have to pinch myself frequently to remember that it is not just a film, it is the true story of someone’s life. A story of a simple dream for a better life gone awry. It is a tragedy that the innocent do frequently get taken advantage of. But what egged me the last nine years to make this film is because the story to me was not in this tragedy. It was in the strength of the human spirit that I saw, to survive all odds, and to somehow get back to what Najeeb held sacred through his tortured addled mind.”
In an interview with indianexpress.com, Prithviraj talked about signing 'Aadujeevitham' 16 years ago. He said, "I said yes to this film in 2008- 2009, which means it’s now been about 16 years. Sixteen years travelling with this film, ideating for this film… I am 41 now. 16 out of 41 is a significant portion of your life and more than a significant portion of your adult life. When I said yes to this film. I wasn’t married. Obviously, I wasn’t a father. I had not turned director. I had not turned producer."

He added, "I had not turned producer. My life has evolved through all these phases and through all these phases one constant has been that this film is there. So, on the 28th of March, it’s a culmination of a lot of things, amongst which this is the film I made. So it is a life experience for me. This particular film is no longer a movie.”
The movie also stars Jimmy Jean-Louis and K R Gokul in the lead roles with Amala Paul and Shobha Mohan seen in pivotal roles.
