Prithviraj Sukumaran’s work front
Prithviraj was last seen in the Hindi-language action thriller Sarzameen, directed by Kayoze Irani in his directorial debut. The film also starred Kajol and Ibrahim Ali Khan and premiered directly on JioHotstar on July 25, 2025. However, it received negative reviews from both critics and audiences.
Looking ahead, Prithviraj is set to return to the big screen with his action drama Vilaayath Buddha. Based on a novel of the same name, the movie revolves around two characters, Bhaskaran Master and his protégé, a smuggler named Double Mohanan, who are at odds over the ownership of a sandalwood tree planted by the former. The film’s first single is scheduled for release on October 16, 2025.
Additionally, Prithviraj has several other films in the pipeline, including I, Nobody, Daayra co-starring with Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Mahesh Babu’s SSMB29.
