"Sugarcane begets sugar, similarly, Novel begets cinema." Benyamin. "The biggest challenge I faced in my life was to turn the story of the novel `Aadujeevitham` into a screenplay." Blessy said this while addressing the gathering in the session `Aadujeevitham: Drishyajeevitham` in the Kerala Literature Festival. Benyamin added further, "There is not even one percent of fear in making the novel `Aadujeevitham` into a cinema in front of a society that can see cinema as cinema and literature as literature. The notion that the Arab world as a whole rejected `Aadujeevitham` is wrong". He stated that it was in fact a few Malayalis who tried to portray the novel as an anti-Arab novel. "That`s why the Malayalm version of the novel is banned and the Arab version is popular at the same time", he said. Benyamin pointed that he did not expect that it would become a cinema while writing `Aadujeevitham`, and he is happy that the director who makes the best films is turning his novel into a movie. Lijeesh Kumar moderated the session. The relevance of his questions was one of the main attractions of the session.
