Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran surely seem to have created an essential bond with one another over the time they spent together working on Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire.

The Prashanth Neel directorial film was a re-telling of the director's own debut film, Ugramm, which featured Srii Murali in the lead role, but only this time was the core idea of the film taken into consideration. It was developed exponentially into a whole other scale in terms of premise and execution.

The film featured an ensemble cast of actors, which included Shruti Haasan, Sriya Reddy, Tinnu Anand, Bobby Simha, Jagapathi Babu, Mime Gopi, John Vijay, and many more actors in essential roles.

Coming to Aadujeevitham, or The Goat Life, the film talks about a Malayali immigrant laborer called Najeeb who finds himself forced into slavery as a goatherd on a secluded farm in Saudi Arabia. The film has been in production hell since 2009, a year after the film's director, Blessy, had read the novel. 

Back in 2009, the director had signed a deal with the story's original author and developed it into a script, which later cast Prithviraj in the leading role as well. After years of trying to find a producer to fund this project, Haitian actor and producer Jimmy Jean-Louis and Steven Adams joined along with Blessy as the producers back in 2015.

The filming for the project began in 2018 and continued till 2022, citing some delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The crew was stranded in Jordan for 70 days during the shoot and were eventually evacuated via the Indian government's evacuation program, Vande Bharat Mission.

More about Aadujeevitham

Aadujeevitham or The Goat Life stars Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role, who went up to the point of severe health conditions owing to the malnourished and hunger-stricken body he needed to feature for the character of Najeeb.

Along with him, the film also features Jimmy Jean-Louis, Amala Paul, Rik Aby, and many others in crucial roles. The film's cinematography was handled by Sunil KS, while Sreekar Prasad did the editing. The film also has AR Rahman composing for its tracks and background scores, making this his 3rd Malayalam project after Mohanlal starrer Yoddha in 1992 and the 2022 Fahadh Faasil starrer film Malayankunju.
