Prithviraj talks about not getting exciting scripts from Bollywood

Long before the import and export of talent became a trend between the Hindi and Southern film industries, there was a modern actor who appeared in a Yash Raj Films film and starred alongside Rani. Mukherji has starred in experimental films with a niche fan base and a great Amit Trivedi album. Yes, we are indeed talking about Prithviraj Sukumaran and his Hindi film debut ‘Aiyaa’.

In an exclusive conversation with OTTplay, the actor spoke about the film he has been waiting for for 16 years.

How it took him so long to find scripts like ‘Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan’ (starring Tiger Shroff and Akshay Kumar as antagonists) and ‘Sarzameen’ (co-starring Ibrahim Ali Khan and Kajol) Regarding this, Prithviraj Sukumaran said: At least until Sarzameen co-starred with Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan, he never made a cameo appearance in the film Naam Shabana in between. Don’t get me wrong, I have read many scripts written in Hindi and many filmmakers have approached me. But I have never read a book that made me want to quit what I was doing in Malayalam and come here and do films. One, because what I read wasn’t that exciting, and two, because what was happening there wasn’t that exciting. Because Malayalam cinema is going through one of the greatest phases. ”
