Thanks to coronavirus restrictions several Indians who had been on international travel are currently stranded in different countries and recently we learnt that famed actor Prithviraj Sukumaran along with director Blessy and 56 of their crew members are currently stuck in Jordan. The actor was shooting for the second schedule of his upcoming film Aadujeevitham in Jordan Wadi Rum when the coronavirus restrictions were imposed. After director Blessy emailed to the Kerala Film Chamber, seeking help to take up the case with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, Prithviraj has now posted a note on his Twitter account about the situation.
