The goat was not on the menu; it had a menu!

We had revealed to you earlier that the heroine of Mithun Manuel Thomas’ Aadu Oru Bheekarajeeviyanu is a she-goat named Pinky. Here’s some more inside information on the ovine star.
In the film, its lead Jayasurya and the goat are not on good terms with each other but in real life, they were apparently good friends. The only bone that Jayasurya wishes to pick is that the goat was treated much better than him on the sets! “Pinky would come in her own special vehicle regally and had a keeper of her own.But no one asked whether the hero had eaten or not!” he says. Pinky’s vehicle would be fitted out with jackfruit leaves and she had her own special menu on the set. “I had to wait patiently for Pinky to be in a good mood to perform. I didn’t wait this long even for the elephant to poop in Punyalan Agarbattis. But Pinky was very cooperative and never created trouble for us, even when we had to shoot all night, till 5 am,” says Jayasurya.
Pinky, who wasn’t used to so many humans around her initially, got so comfortable with people towards the end of the shoot that she didn’t like to be left alone and would start tugging at her rope when tied up. She became the pet of the entire team and for the group photo on the last day, there was a tussle as to whose lap Pinky should sit on. “I too got attached to Pinky and wanted to take her home with me at the end. But then I realised that there are other people on the set who loved Pinky more than me who had already booked her,” he says.
Meanwhile, Jayasurya had to put on weight for the film. He reached his target weight of 80 kg and grew a ‘mutton chop’ moustache to complete the look. “During the course of the shoot, many of my relatives turned enemies because I couldn’t attend any functions or weddings in between. We didn’t want to reveal the look and also my moustache looked peculiar,” says Jayasurya.
