Omani Artist Talib Mohammed Defends His Role in Controversial Movie “Goat’s Life”

No Regrets: Talib Mohammed Stands by His Performance

Omani artist Talib Mohammed has confirmed that he does not regret his participation in the movie “Goat’s Life”, which has been the subject of controversy in recent days. In an interview with the Omani radio station “Hala FM”, Mohammed stressed that he was sincere in his role and is happy with the final product.

“I do not regret participating in the work at all. On the contrary, I am happy with this great and beautiful work, globally, artistically, and technically, far from the ideas that the irrational talk about,” Mohammed said.

The Movie’s Story

The movie “Goat’s Life” tells the story of an Indian young man named “Najeeb” who goes to Saudi Arabia in search of work, only to fall victim to a person who claims to be his sponsor. Najeeb finds himself trapped in an endless desert, forced to work in tragic conditions.

Talib Mohammed’s Role

Talib Muhammad played the role of “the sponsor” in the movie. He stated that what happened on social media and the criticism he was exposed to are incomprehensible, stressing that the movie only represents the person or the role he played.

“This novel represents only one individual, not an entire society. When I read the novel, I did not feel that it was offensive. The character of “Najeeb” after experiencing this problem returned to his country and then went to a Gulf state and lived for 7 years. How many expatriates have become millionaires from the wealth of the Arabian Gulf? This person did not represent the entire society. Do we not read about murder and crimes every day? He is a person from society, and there are wonderful examples,” Mohammed added.

Conclusion

Talib Mohammed’s defense of his role in “Goat’s Life” highlights the importance of understanding and context in art. The movie’s story is a powerful commentary on the exploitation of migrant workers, and Mohammed’s performance adds depth and nuance to the narrative.
