Leading Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran will be seen next in the highly-anticipated film, Aadujeevitham, also being called The Goat Life. The upcoming survival drama film written and directed acclaimed filmmaker Blessy and featuring music composed by Academy Award winner A. R. Rahman is scheduled to open in theatres worldwide starting March 28 and is an adaptation of the 2008 Malayalam novel 'Aadujeevitham' by Benyamin, which is based on a true incident. With an intriguing trailer for The Goat Life released recently and receiving a stellar feedback from fans, Prithviraj has been taking part in the promotions of the film, while also recently sitting down for an exclusive interview with Galatta.
Prithviraj, who has been promoting The Goat Life aggressively, opened up on the genres he would like to direct leading Tamil actors in starting with 'Superstar' Rajinikanth. Stating that he wished to see the Rajinikanth in a comedy film, Prithviraj revealed that his favorite film of the celebrated Tamil star was Thillu Mullu (1981). He explained, "I wanted to do Bro Daddy with Rajini sir." Upon being queried about the kind of film he would direct Kamal Haasan in, Prithviraj said he would cast the iconic actor in a film set in the drama genre. He said, "He (Kamal Haasan) is one of the greatest dramatic actors the world has ever seen."
When queried about the genre he would cast 'Thalapathy' Vijay in, Prithviraj opened up by saying, "I would love to do a very dark and real action film with him. Vijay sir does a lot of action films, but without necessarily being in the same line, I feel it would be superb to do a very dark, gritty, and a real film." He added, "It won't be a cinematic action film. I want something more real and gritty." Prithviraj also went on to speak about Suriya and said, "Contrary to popular belief, a love story is candy floss and light. To pull off a love story, you need a fantastic actor. And, Suriya to me is one of the finest actors in the country today. So, I think a beautiful, mature love story would be great."
