Prithviraj Sukumaran, who can play a variety of roles, has been thriving in the cinema industry. His charismatic performances and subtle acting have enchanted audiences. His acting chops have been on full display in films in South India. However, fans have long been captivated by Prithviraj's mesmerising performances throughout his forays into Bollywood, thanks to his reputation across other regional industries.
In every one of his films, from his riveting Bollywood debut in Aiyya with Rani Mukerji to his dramatic performance as the antagonist in Naam Shabana, Prithviraj has demonstrated his acting talent and adaptability. Now, the actor opens up a whole new world of Hindi cinema in his most recent appearance as the masked adversary in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, promising viewers an exciting cinematic adventure brimming with action, drama, and his distinctive charisma.
Take a look at Prithviraj's Bollywood journey in detail below:
Prithviraj Sukumaran made his Hindi film debut with Aiyya back in 2012. Sachin Kundalkar directs the film, which features Rani Mukerji in the lead role. In the film, though she becomes engaged to Madhav (Subodh Bhave), Meenakshi (Rani Mukerji) can't help but feel something for the Tamil artist Surya (Prithviraj Sukumaran). She makes up her mind to marry Surya, believing he is the one. Aiyya explores how Meenakshi persuades Surya and her family to accept her decision. The film shows how Meenakshi is smitten with Surya's tanned skin and an enigmatic aroma the second she lays eyes on him.
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.
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.
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.
