GOAT LIFE(aadujeevitham):

BLESSY(DIRECTOR): Its loneliness felt by a man. Its challenging for a director or writer to engage the audience with the story of one man's survival in a place where he also doesn't speak local language.

Difference between Novel reading & making it as a film is you need not to sit on a chair for 3hrs And Read entire book at a time. so continuity is not needed in novel. but for film you need continuity of character of story to keep it engaging.

you get many breaks in btw reading book, so emotional continuity is not required. there are many interruptions (some 1 makes phone call etc). but cinema is different, even if you get tea breaks you don't lose narrative tissue in a film.

I had to be mindful of these elements of cinema like time & space that set it apart from literature, screenplay writing is toughest part of Aadujeevitham. In movie making(while shooting)process its a group work many will come into your help.But screenplay writing is a lonely exercise.

There are many hurdles in the path , bcz novel is quite popular & people are aware of the plot points, so i can't make any major changes.

When iam adopting an existing material , there is an attempt to make it my own style through visuals.

The character of 'sainu', najeeb's wife represents hope for me. the main reason why he survives the ordeal is in hope of re-uniting with her once. that's the reason why we used the song "HOPE" for the film promotion.
