Prithviraj in Aadujeevitham
After much anticipation, the survival thriller âAadujeevitham (The Goat Life)' featuring Pan-India star Prithviraj Sukumaran, has finally been released, drawing immense love and appreciation from fans and critics nationwide. Adapted from Benyamin's 2008 Malayalam novel, the film has opened to an overwhelming response, with Prithviraj Sukumaran receiving massive acclaim for his portrayal of Najeeb Muhammed. Many are hailing âThe Goat Life' as Prithviraj Sukumaran's best performance yet, with his portrayal reaching âGod Mode' status, leaving audiences spellbound by this cinematic masterpiece.
To embody the role of Najeeb, actor Prithviraj, who agreed to be a part of the film in 2008, had to undergone extreme transformation. "The idea was that I looked like somebody who does not have access to enough food, and was starving most of the time. The only way I could do that is to actually adopt that process, which means that my transformation was almost entirely based on fasting. At times, I used to fast for up to 72 hours. I would drink water and black coffee, but nothing else," said that actor who lost 31 kgs and went through the process twice as the film's shoot was halted in between due to the pandemic.
Owing to Prithviraj Sukumaran's career-defining portrayal in the film, fans can't help but celebrate this extraordinary performance. Below are some of the many fan reactions; take a look:
