The Goat Life Trailer released. The Goat Life, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, now has a trailer. Based on Benyamin’s acclaimed novel Aadujeevitham, the film tells the true story of Najeeb, a young man who leaves Kerala in the early ’90s to try his luck abroad. The Malayalam film also stars Amala Paul, Jimmy Jean-Louis, and Talib al Balushi, among others. Helmed by Blessy, the movie features music by Oscar winner AR Rahman and sound design by fellow Oscar winner Resul Pookkutty.
The trailer gives us a peek into the challenges that Najeeb faces on his epic journey, both physically and mentally. Sukumaran’s transformation is impressive as Najeeb learns to survive in the desert.

The official synopsis of the film teases ‘extraordinary visuals and soul-stirring music’, promising audiences ‘a breathtaking cinematic experience’. The trailer highlights sweeping desert vistas that might remind audiences of recent films like Dune: Part Two or The Revenant.
Sukumaran opened up about the film, saying, “It’s been a long journey and not an easy one; after a decade-long wait, the audience gets to watch the fruit of our hard work and turmoil. From Covid Days to today, The Goat Life has been an unexpected and unforgettable journey.”
