Prithviraj Sukumaran has been in the spotlight due to his much-awaited film, “Aadujeevitham” (The Goat Life), directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Blessy. This movie, based on a true incident, has been in production for several years, and Prithviraj’s passion for the project is evident.
But what caught everyone’s attention was Prithviraj’s refusal to megastar Chiranjeevi—twice! Yes, you read that right. Chiranjeevi, the legendary actor from the Telugu film industry, approached Prithviraj for two different projects, and both times, Prithviraj turned him down using the same excuse. What was that excuse? Well, it’s a testament to Prithviraj’s unwavering commitment to “Aadujeevitham.”
Prithviraj Sukumaran and Chiranjeevi the unlikely friendship
The first instance occurred in 2019 when Chiranjeevi offered Prithviraj a significant role in the ambitious project “Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy.” Despite being flattered by the offer, Prithviraj politely declined, explaining that he had just started shooting for “Aadujeevitham,” a project he had been waiting for over a decade. His dedication to the film was unshakable.
Fast forward to 2022, and Chiranjeevi was starring in the Telugu remake of Prithviraj’s blockbuster film “Lucifer.” Once again, Chiranjeevi’s team reached out to Prithviraj, this time asking him to consider directing the Telugu version. But Prithviraj stood firm, reiterating his commitment to “Aadujeevitham.” He needed to grow a beard and lose weight for his role, and nothing—not even the allure of working with Chiranjeevi—could sway him.
Despite saying no twice, Prithviraj Sukumaran maintains a good bond with Chiranjeevi. Their mutual respect and admiration for each other continue to make headlines in the film industry. Prithviraj hopes that Chiranjeevi himself will star in the Telugu version of “Lucifer,” a project that has already garnered immense attention.
In a recent interview, Prithviraj expressed his excitement about the upcoming release of “Aadujeevitham.” The film’s unique storyline, breathtaking visuals, and Prithviraj’s remarkable performance are expected to captivate audiences worldwide. Fans eagerly await its release, and Prithviraj’s dedication remains an inspiration for aspiring actors.
As Prithviraj Sukumaran’s star continues to rise, we can’t help but wonder what other exciting projects he has in store. One thing is certain: Prithviraj Sukumaran is a force to be reckoned with in the world of cinema.
