Aurangzeb - Prime Video
In 2013, Prithviraj Sukumaran played the central character in this Yash Raj Films-produced film. He portrays ACP Arya Phogat, the son of Vijaykant (Anupam Kher), the nephew of Ravikant (Rishi Kapoor), the stepson of Veera (Tanvi Azmi), and the half-brother of Ajay and Vishal (Arjun Kapoor).
As the next frontier to conquer in Aurangzeb real estate-savvy individuals should set their sights on Gurgaon, the most contemporary boomtown in "India Shining." In just fifteen years, this once-small town became a boomtown satellite city. But the police still haven't caught up. Jackie Shroff plays Yashwardhan, who portrays himself as a law-abiding citizen but really rules an alternate universe as its Emperor. Now the police will have to adopt a criminal mindset in order to apprehend an offender! Witnessing Vishal's (Arjun Kapoor) unexpected transplant to Yashwardhan's (Ajay) realm, the lawmakers (Rishi Kapoor and Prithviraj) toss a coin, setting in motion a chain reaction—something Vishal hadn't anticipated—that challenges him to his limits! In "Aurangzeb," there is only one ruler, and royal blood is not a factor.
Naam Shabana - ZEE5 (also on OTTplay Premium)
In Naam Shabana (2017), Prithviraj Sukumaran portrays Tony, aka Mikhail, as the main antagonist. The film featuring Taapsee Pannu in the titular role shows how, after college student Shabana serves a sentence for murdering her violent father, an Indian intelligence agency recruits her for a clandestine operation.
Later, three Indian agents track down Mikhail, a world-renowned weaponry dealer and supplier, and Tony, who serves as his right-hand man. Tony informs them about a German doctor who altered Mikhail's appearance through surgery. Just as the agency is about to call the doctor to get a look at Mikhail, Tony reveals his true identity as Mikhail, kills all three agents, and makes his escape. Mikhail is plotting to get a new face transplant, which Ranvir (Manoj Bajpayee) finds out about.
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan
After seven years, Prithviraj returns to Hindi cinema with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The actor-filmmaker portrays Kabir, the primary antagonist, concealing his identity with a mask throughout. In the Ali Abbas Zafar film, Colonel Azad (Ronit Bose Roy) dispatches his top officer to find two renowned members of his unit—the sombre "Bade Miyan" Firoz (Akshay Kumar) and the brazen "Chote Miyan" Rakesh (Tiger Shroff)—to foil a masked enemy (Prithviraj) who has emerged from the nation and is ruthlessly attacking the military with its most lethal weapon. What follows is an action-packed, pulse-pounding film that showcases Bade-Chote's unparalleled bravery and camaraderie as the two work together to restore justice.
