Thiruvananthapuram, May 17
Prithviraj forayed into showbiz nine years ago and the
Malayalam actor says he wishes to complete five decades in the
industry.
"For a person like me, who began this profession at the
age of 17 will help me in achieving a five-decade acting career," said
Prithviraj, who is known as action hero.
"I got the label of an
action hero following two of my recent films - 'Urumi' and 'Anwar'.
Incidentally, my latest film 'Manikakalu' which was released on May 5 has
been getting an excellent response. The collection is going up everyday,
according to the collection report that comes from the theatres," added
the 27-year-old, who has acted in more than 65 films.
The
heartthrob of Malayalam films surprised many when he tied the knot with
Mumbai-based journalist Supriya Menon last month. More so because just
before the marriage he had denied any such plans in an interview to a
reputed language magazine.
When asked about that, he said: "The
interviewer asked me about my marriage plans with a journalist Pratheksha
Menon and I flatly denied it. By denying it, I don't think that I did any
wrong because I was not going to marry a person with such a
name."
His love life was a closely guarded secret because Supriya
works as a journalist with BBC and he wanted to keep her away from the
spotlight.
"We did not want her pictures to be splashed in film
magazines because it would have affected her profession. And the reason
for keeping my marriage function a private affair was because I wanted it
that way," said Prithviraj.
Son of late actor Sukumaran and actress
Mallika, Prithviraj made a successful debut with "Nandanam" in 2002 and
went on to give blockbusters like "Swapnakoodu" (2003), "Classmates"
(2006), "Thirakkatha" (2008) and "Urumi" (2011).
His notable Tamil
films are "Kana Kandaen" (2005) and "Mozhi" (2007). |
