KOCHI: Director Blessy has so far made only films with seasoned stars like Mammootty (' Kazcha , 'Palunku' ) Mohanlal ( 'Thanmatra' , 'Bhramaram' ) and Dileep ( 'Calcutta News' ). He has now chosen Prithviraj for his next film 'Aadujeevitham' .
The shoot of the film is to take place in the deserts of Dubai and Rajasthan around August end.
Prithviraj is all excited about the film, which will be another feather on his cap. However Blessy has asked Prithviraj to reduce his weight by 20 kilos for the character he is going to play. The actor who is very disciplined has always maintained that he will do anything to get into the character and is going to go on a crash diet after he completes 'Anwar' .
The buzz around Prithvi is sure to get bigger after Mani Ratnam’s 'Raavanan', in which he looks dashing, releases in June.
