I must mention Prithviraj, he has added life to the movie, especially with his expressions. He has surpassed all his past movies. In all, I hope the film may get an Oscar Award. All the best! (sic)"
Prithviraj Sukumaran's stellar performance in "Aadujeevitham - The Goat Life" has impressed audiences. The Malayalam movie has been a box office hit, grossing Rs 40.40 crore in less than a week.
The film, in the making for nearly 16 years, was initially conceptualized in 2008 by Blessy, with Sukumaran agreeing to the part later that year.
The film is inspired by the real-life incident of an Indian migrant worker, Najeeb Muhammad (played by Prithviraj), who goes to the Middle East to earn money. However, in a twist of fate, he finds himself living a slave-like existence, herding goats in the middle of the desert.
