Budget and shooting

In a recent interview, director Blessy said Aadujeevitham was made with ₹82 crore. Its shooting started in 2018 but was delayed and completed on 14 July 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The movie was shot in Jordan in 2018-2019 but was not completed due to Prithviraj’s date clashes.

The team reached Jordan in 2020 and then planned to shoot in Algeria. However, they got stuck in Jordan for 65 days due to COVID-19 restrictions. The team shot the major portions in Jordan and returned after two and a half months.

For the next year shooting didn’t happen due to the pandemic, but post-production works were in full swing.

The rest of the shooting started in March 2022 and ended in June 2022. The movie was shot in Algeria, the Sahara Desert, and the Wadi Rum desert during this time.
