Aadujeevitham, based on Benyamin s acclaimed 2008 Malayalam novel, depicts Najeeb s survival as a reluctant goatherd in the harsh Saudi desert. - Meet Najeeb Muhammad, The Real-Life Inspiration Behind Prithviraj Sukumaran s Aadujeevitham - The Goat Life
Aadujeevitham is an adaptation of the 2008 best-selling Malayalam novel of the same name by Benyamin and follows the life of Najeeb, who, employed as a goatherd against his will, survives in a slave-like situation in the middle of the Saudi desert.
For the actor, Aadujeevitham is the most challenging film he has taken on thus far, primarily because his character Najeeb lies far beyond his usual comfort zone and the 'Prithviraj template'.
Najeeb, the central character in Benyamin's novel Aadujeevitham and Blessy's film adaptation of the same, now leads a relatively peaceful life after enduring the horrors of kidnapping and spending over three years enslaved in the deserts of Saudi Arabia.
Blessy's highly anticipated survival drama Aadujeevitham (The Goat Life), starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, features an impressive technical team, including Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman, cinematographer Sunil KS and editor A Sreekar Prasad.
