Blessy, director of the much-anticipated movie Aadujeevitham, said that he was hurt to watch the video of the movie which is being circulated online. He confirmed that it was not the official trailer.

According to him, it’s only a video clip sent to foreign agencies. The three-minute-long footage reportedly first appeared on the American website Deadline.

In a video, Blessy said nobody can say that it’s a trailer because the music has been composed on the keyboard. Also, it doesn’t have the correct colour grading. It is a video clip sent to agents for screening at some festivals and for business purposes.

While the trailer of Aadujeevitham lasts for one-and-a-half minute to two minutes, the leaked video is almost three minutes long, he pointed out.

Blessy stated that the post-production work of Aadujeevitham is underway and it is mentally distressing to go through such a crisis at this stage.

Earlier, lead actor Prithviraj too noted that the leaked video was not the trailer.

Mammootty’s new movie titled Bazooka

The title of Mammootty’s upcoming film directed by debutant Deeno Dennis has been titled Bazooka.

The title-look poster sports the actor wearing a suit and wielding a gun. He is surrounded by gunmen and their lasers pointing at him.

Tamil director-actor Gautham Vasudev Menon and Shine Tom Chacko are also part of Bazooka.

Second video song from ‘Adi’ out
