The Goat Life (2024)
Plot
The Goat Life is a 2024 Malayalam-language survival drama film written, directed, and co-produced by Blessy. The film is an international co-production involving companies in India and the United States. It is an adaptation of the 2008 Malayalam best-selling novel Aadujeevitham, written by Benyamin, which is loosely based on the story of Najeeb Muhammad, a Malayali immigrant worker in Saudi Arabia. The film was initially banned in GCC countries except for the UAE. Subsequently, the ban was lifted in all the countries except in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. The novel was also previously banned in the same countries. The film stars Prithviraj Sukumaran alongside Jimmy Jean-Louis and K. R. Gokul, with Talib Al Balushi, Rik Aby, Amala Paul and Shobha Mohan in supporting roles. Blessy had wanted to adapt Aadujeevitham ever since he read the novel in 2008 and cast Prithviraj as the lead. The following year, he bought the rights from Benyamin and began writing the screenplay. However, due to budget constraints which prevented substantial progress, the film went into development hell. Blessy spent years searching for a producer, finally finding one in 2015, allowing the project to gain momentum
