Now, a behind-the-scenes video of the crew facing challenges in shooting while in Jordan during the Covid-19 pandemic has been released on YouTube and gaining attention. The YouTube video shows the crew members of different countries playing, laughing and celebrating together in the middle of the desert despite the pandemic.
In the video, the lead actor of The Goat Life Prithviraj Sukumaran spoke about his body transformation and the fear of losing all the progress. He said, “Blessy Sir’s biggest worry was that my eight months of hard work and physical transformation would go to waste." Reportedly, he spent a few days in Austria before he arrived in Jordan to get his body in proper shape for the movie. But, suddenly, a lockdown was declared due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The director remained concerned about Prithviraj’s body and voiced it by stating that whenever they began shooting, the actor would have to go through a lot again to attain the body that is needed for the body.
Further in the video, Blessy shared the experience of being stuck in the middle of a desert during the pandemic.

The team had landed in Jordan on March 9, 2020, to shoot the second schedule. Every day since then has been a huge challenge. However, it was courage that made them stick together in difficult times and taught something to all the members of the team.
