The actor was last seen in L2: Empuraan. He also has many interesting projects in the pipeline—Vilayath Buddha and Nobody in Malayalam, pan India films Salaar Part II and SSMB29, and Daayra, and Sar Zameen in Hindi.
Daayra, directed by Meghna Gulzaar, stars Kareena Kapoor opposite Prithviraj. According to reports, Daayra taps into the pulse of the people as it confronts the topical and diabolical realities unfolding in society today. “This crime-drama thriller explores the age-old paradox of crime and punishment,” the makers added.
Meanwhile, Kayoze Irani directed Sarzameen stars Kajol and Ibrahim Ali Khan.
Nissam Basheer’s Nobody features Parvathy Thiruvothu opposite Prithviraj. The film went onto floors in April.
Vilayath Buddha directed by Jayan Nambiyar has Anu Mohan and Priyamvada Krishnan in prominent roles alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film is currently in post-production.
