I’ve been a fan of Prithvi since his Kana Kandaen days. It’s pretty mind boggling that he’s the same age group as Dulquer and Fahaadh. This was a very well done interview. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Have been such a fan since I watched him in Nandanam>. So, so glad to see him finally get ‘recognition’ instead of trolling.

I’m so glad you asked about Aiyaa but not enough! I love that film and Prithiviraj was such a hunk in it.
Koode was his best performance as an actor, actually also his role in Ennu Ninte Moideen brought out something different in him. He is wrong that people mainly want to see him in action films.
Great interview.

@ krishikari – so glad to see another Aiyya fan! I loved the film – its premise and the fact that Prithvi agreed to be a part of it. And honestly, I’m with you – yes, he does action well, but my favourite performances of his have been in Memories, Ayalum Njanum Thammil, Ennu Ninte Moideen, Classmates, Indian Rupee, Celluloid, Thalappavu, Daivanamathil, etc.

If Lijo makes him see Double Barrel every time I think he may not appreciate Prithvi visiting him so often LMFAO
For me his most memorable acting performance was in Mumbai Police when he realizes he is gay . There is a certain mathematical precision about his performances. He seems to be very steeped in film theory. He will never overdo any performance and I think that comes from being a team player and realizing that it is a directors medium.
The demise of Sachy is not just a personal loss for him but I think a very big loss for the fans. The coming years of Prithvi will not be the same without him. Hope he finds a new muse.
Anu and Krishikari , have you guys seen the Marathi original of Aiyya – Gandh ? Its by the same director – Sachin Kundalkar. I think its available on youtube. Prithvi and Rani are very charismatic but Girish Kulkarni and Amrita Subhash have their own charms.
