His multifaceted talents extend beyond acting, encompassing singing, directing, and producing in the film industry. As he gears up for his forthcoming appearance in the Telugu film 'Salaar,' let's delve into his intriguing journey.
Hailing from Kerala, Prithviraj Sukumaran was initially inclined towards a different path than his family's acting legacy. Raised amidst a family of actors including his father Sukumaran, mother Mallika, elder brother Indrajith, and sister-in-law Poornima, all entrenched in the industry, he aspired for a different career. Thus, he ventured to Australia to pursue a degree in Information Technology, aiming to carve a distinct niche for himself.
However, destiny intervened when he received an unexpected audition call from director Ranjith, ultimately leading to his debut film 'Nandan.' Although the movie was released after two others, it marked his entry into the film fraternity.
His personal life intertwined with his professional journey when he met Supriya Menon, a former journalist, leading to a romantic union and marriage. Their daughter, Alankrita Menon Sukumaran, holds a significant place in their lives, reflecting Prithviraj's gratitude towards his wife's influence on his achievements.
Initially skeptical about continuing in the industry, Prithviraj found his passion gradually developing as he engaged in various facets of filmmaking, including direction, production, and singing. His commitment to proving himself in these domains became the cornerstone of his career evolution.
Having engaged in dramatics and debates during his school days, Prithviraj's passion for the arts and performance dates back to his childhood. His friendship with fellow industry stalwarts like Dulquer Salman has also been a significant influence on his journey.
Apart from his dedication to cinema, Prithviraj finds joy in collecting luxury cars and bikes, boasting an impressive collection that includes Lamborghini, Porsche, Land Rover Defender 110, Range Rover, Vogue, Safari, Mini Cooper, and BMW.
His foresight in suggesting Chiranjeevi for the Telugu adaptation of 'Lucifer,' understanding the actor's capability to do justice to the role, and his recent appearance in 'Police Police' reflect his keenness to connect further with Telugu audiences. Movies like 'Urumi,' 'Ayyappanum Koshiyum,' and 'Bro Daddy' have also contributed to bridging the gap with Telugu viewers, as he aims to strengthen his bond with them through his upcoming film 'Salaar.'
