The event, which had a footfall of over 6000 people, began with a special fan moment as the striking fan-made posters for the movie were released on stage. The G.O.A.T, A.R Rahman then took to stage to talk about his journey on the film and opened with his surreal performance of the title soundtrack. The music maestro launched ‘The Hope Song’ live at the event and this uplifting melody of 'Hope' is expected to be a beacon of light in the darkest of times. The event also featured the performances of multiple other songs from the album, namely, ‘Periyone Song’, ‘Bethavin Song’, ‘Magical Song’ and ‘Desert Song’. Artists such as Jithin, Sana Mousa, Chinmayi Sripaada, Vijay Yesudhas, Murtaza, Raja Hassan and Faiz performed at the magical evening. Mohanlal reunited with his Lucifer filmmaker and Bro Daddy co-star Prithviraj Sukumaran at the event wherein he shared his thoughts about the film and his experience of working with Blessy and Prithviraj.
Speaking about his journey on the film, A.R Rahman said, “It’s such an honour to work with such a passionate man as Blessy, who believes in cinema, goodwill, stories and humanity. Working with him taught me so much because he is a very patient person. I want to thank you for coming and supporting us. This movie is a story of all of us, we are all struggling in some kind of way. For some people the struggle is internal, in the movie, the struggle of the hero is being trapped in a desert, but still, a lot of people are relating to this. Returning back to the Malayalam film industry, I personally feel like I’ve come back home. Coming back in this way for such a special movie with such great people to support this, it is such an honour, and it has been a very interesting journey.”
Talking about the music of the film, Prithviraj Sukumaran shared, “I’ve had the privilege of working in two films that A.R Rahman sir has composed for before this, both the films had amazing music, but, I have done over 120 films and I don’t remember another time when I have heard the score of a film after having done it entirely and then wished that I had the score with me when I was acting. I wish I could hear the music before each take now, but that is the process of cinema, you don’t get to do that. I would like to thank you for what you have done for the film, you are as big a character as Najeeb is in The Goat Life. It’s an amazing piece of work.”
The movie is based on the novel ‘Aadujeevitham’, one of the most popular best sellers, which has been translated in 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.
