Aadujeevitham star talks about why he chose a Malayalam film as his first Indian project, and much more.
This is Haitian actor Jimmy Jean-Louis’ first Indian film, and he has made an interesting choice to make his debut in Malayalam.
Jimmy, who lives in France, will appear in Prithviraj Sukumaran’s The Goat Life also titled as Aadujeevitham as Ibrahim Khadiri, a local who assists Najeeb, the Malayali immigrant worker, on his voyage to Saudi Arabia.
In this brief interview with the Hindustan Times, Jimmy discusses why he opted to work on filmmaker Blessy’s The Goat Life, working with Prithviraj Sukumaran, and the hurdles he experienced.

The actor said ,”You know, from where I stood, every Indian film was a Bollywood production! When this project was presented to me, I had no idea what it was about and had a few queries. I received the script and then did some investigation into who was behind the film.
He further said ,”I recognized that was comparable to a top star in his region and even nationally. And, of course, Najeeb’s narrative was fascinating, as was the fact that he was still alive. I wanted to do it right immediately!
Another compelling feature was the opportunity to shoot in Wadi Rum (Jordan) and Timimoun in the Sahara Desert, which was an unforgettable experience. Of course.”
As the premiere date of Prithviraj Sukumaran’s highly anticipated survival drama, ‘Aadujeevitham,’ approaches, excitement mounts. However, subsequent updates suggest a delay in the film’s distribution across all Gulf countries on March 28, 2024, as promised.
Prithviraj Sukumaran reveals that he would fast for 72 hours to achieve the physical transformation required for ‘Aadujeevitham‘.
Prithviraj also claimed that he used to starve himself to get the body he needed for ‘Aadujeevitham.’ He revealed that he had shed 31 kilograms.
