| About
him |
Shyamaprasad (Malayalam Director) :
"It's not fair to gauge his merit by such success
rates alone. Prithviraj is an intense actor who
is very talented and very intelligent."
Indrajith (Actor and his brother) :
"He has always been a shy person and talks less
even when he is at home." |

Quote |
"I used to
belong to that tribe of people who never knew
what they wanted. Now, finally, I am doing something
I like. I like the rush of adrenalin, the kick
that acting gives me. I want to be an actor till
I die" |
