The Goat Life set for big release in Telugu states
Mythri Movie Makers is distributing the Telugu version of The Goat Life in the Telugu states. With no other major releases in Telugu, this film is set to receive a wide launch in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Meanwhile, Prithviraj has also established some familiarity with Telugu audiences with his previous movie, Salaar, which starred superstar Prabhas in the lead role. The producers of The Goat Life hope all these factors will play in the film's favor at the Telugu box office.
Aadujeevitham is inspired by an autobiographical novel of the same name. The film tells the extraordinary tale of Najeeb Mohammed, who faces starvation, thirst, and injury in the sprawling deserts of an Arab country to return to his hometown in Kerala.
