Mumbai: Makers of the upcoming survival drama film Aadujeevitham (The Goat Life) starring actor Prithviraj Sukumaran have changed the film's official release date.

The film will hit theatres on March 28, 2024, in Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.

Taking to Instagram, Sukumaran shared a post that reads, "16 years since conception, 10 years since scripting, 6 years since shooting started, the wait, for once, is shorter. The Goat Life, March 28th in theatres worldwide."

Earlier, the film was slated to release on April 10, 2024.

Directed by National Award Winner Blessy, 'The Goat Life' features actor Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role and is based on the novel Goat Days by Benyamin.

Produced by Visual Romance, and directed by National Award Winner Blessy, the film also features Amala Paul, K.R.Gokul, Hollywood actor Jimmy Jean-Louis, and renowned Arab actors Talib al Balushi and Rik Aby in pivotal roles.

The movie is based on the novel 'Aadujeevitham', one of the most popular best sellers ever from the Malayalam literary world, which has been translated into 12 different languages, including those that are foreign.

Penned by noted writer Benyamin it follows the true story of the life of a young man Najeeb, who in the early 90s migrates from the lush green shores of Kerala in search of the fortunes in a land abroad.

Speaking about this film, director, Blessy earlier said, "The greatest challenge in front of me was that The Goat Life is a subject with universal appeal and I would have to stay truthful to its narrative style. The novel is based on some real incidents and I want to captivate the viewers with each moment that something unbelievable happened to someone. Truth has never been so much stranger than fiction. The scale of the movie demands to be felt within the confines of a theatre and we are excited to bring this magnum opus to audiences around the world."

Apart from this, Sukumaran will also be seen in the action thriller film 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' alongside Tiger Shroff, Akshay Kumar, and Sonakshi Sinha.
