After a decade-long wait, the dream project of National Award-winning filmmaker Blessy and Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran, titled "The Goat Life," is finally set to hit theatres worldwide on April 10, 2024.
The makers describe the film as 'the greatest survival adventure ever,' based on a true story. Survival adventures are a rarity in Indian cinema, and the authenticity of being a true story adds an extra layer of intrigue.
The first-look poster of this epic tale was unveiled today by none other than Rebel Star Prabhas, generating high anticipation.
Prithviraj, in an unrecognizable and rugged appearance, is ready to stun the audience with his portrayal in "The Goat Life."
Expressing his thoughts on the remarkable first look, he said, "I knew 'The Goat Life' was a challenging film to make, and I was fully aware of the challenges I’d face throughout the production. Despite that, it pushed me to my limits, both physically and mentally. I have dedicated five years of my life to my character in the film, Najeeb. Having undergone extreme physical transformations more than once, it was my goal to perfect the look and feel of the character. As we unveil the first look poster today, we promise there is a lot more to come. We also hope the audience enjoys the film as much as we enjoyed making it."
Produced by Visual Romance, "The Goat Life" also features Hollywood actor Jimmy Jean-Louis and Indian actors such as Amala Paul and K.R. Gokul, along with renowned Arab actors Talib al Balushi and Rik Aby in pivotal roles.
The film's music direction and sound design are led by Academy Award winners A.R. Rahman and Resul Pookutty, respectively.
Shot in multiple countries around the world, the film marks a milestone in the Malayalam film industry, setting new benchmarks in production standards, storytelling, and acting prowess.
With exemplary performances and a soul-stirring background score, the film promises a larger-than-life theatrical experience.
Touted as the greatest-ever desert film in Indian cinema, "The Goat Life" is scheduled to release in theatres on April 10, 2024, in five languages: Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.
