AR Rahman drew comparisons between his comeback Malayalam film ‘Aadujeevitham’, the first in more than three decades, and the Oscar-winning biographical epic ‘Lawrence of Arabia’.
During his recent appearance at an event, the ‘Jai Ho’ hitmaker spoke about the film and said, “Mr Blessy and team have made a Malayalam Lawrence of Arabia.”
He continued, “I am coming back to Malayalam cinema after Yoddha (1992). I did a small movie [Malayankunju] with Fahadh Faasil before. But this is truly a composer’s film as there are so many emotions to convey through music.”
“I feel honoured to work with Blessy, Benyamin, Prithviraj and the whole team. They have all given their soul to the movie. Looking at them reaffirms my faith in cinema,” Rahman added.

Notably, the Prithviraj Sukumaran-led ‘The Goat Life’, titled ‘Aadujeevitham’ in Malayalam, which has been in development since 2009, is scheduled for theatrical release on March 28.
