Prithviraj Sukumaran (/pr̩it̪ʰʋiɾaːd͡ʒ/; born 16 October 1982) is an Indian actor, director, producer and playback singer primarily active in Malayalam cinema.[1] He has also featured in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu films, adding to over a 100 films involving diverse genres and variety of roles.[2] Prithviraj's accolades include a National Film Award, three Kerala State Film Awards, a Tamil Nadu State Film Award and a South Filmfare Award.[3]
Prithviraj made his acting debut with the 2002 hit film Nandanam (2002).[4] After a career downturn, he made a comeback with Classmates (2006), the highest-grossing Malayalam film of the year, and became the youngest recipient of Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor for Vaasthavam (2006). He then played a musician in the Tamil romantic comedy Mozhi (2007) and ventured into playback singing with Puthiya Mukham (2009) before earning his second Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor for the medical drama Ayalum Njanum Thammil and biographical film Celluloid (both 2010).[5]
In 2010, Prithviraj joined the production house August Cinema. He co-produced and headlined Urumi and Indian Rupee (both 2011); the latter won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Malayalam and Kerala State Film Award for Best Film.[6] He won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Villain for Kaaviya Thalaivan (2014) and had further success with Ennu Ninte Moideen (2015) and Ezra (2017). After leaving August Cinema in 2017, he launched Prithviraj Productions independently that firstly backed 9 (2019). Prithviraj made his directorial debut with Lucifer (2019), the highest-grossing Malayalam film at that point. He has since achieved critical and commercial success with Driving License (2019), Ayyappanum Koshiyum (2020), Jana Gana Mana (2022), Kaduva (2022) and The Goat Life (2024) and played a pivotal role in the Telugu action film Salaar (2023).
