When Prithviraj Sukumaran made his acting debut in 2002 movie Nandanam, he was well appreciated by audience for his mannerisms and remarkable performance. Soon, the son of late superstar Sukumaran became a well-known artiste with many back-to-back successful flicks. Apart from success moments, there was also a time when people used to make fun of him, tagging him to be an arrogant actor.

Time flies! Prithviraj has now become one of the superstars in Malayalam, a box office king, who has also become a familiar face in Bollywood and Telugu — something that he had predicted a few years ago. On April 29, actor Aju Varghese shared an old video of Prithviraj's interview that is believed to have been taken in 2009, in which he is heard opening up on his dreams and where he sees himself in 20 years.
Interestingly, true to the words he made then, the actor has been all that today, that too in less than 10 years, proving how focused and determined he is about his career and personal life. "The perfect example of being focused, confident, high determination and above all HARD WORK!!! #inspirational [sic]," Aju wrote while sharing the video on his Facebook page.
These are my wishes. After 20 years, I would like to see myself as a renowned Malayali actor in at least three Indian languages," Prithviraj had said in the interview.
Yes, he is one of the bankable actors in Malayalam with many box office hits and a handful of committed projects that make him busy for next few years, including Adam Joan, My Story, Vimaanam, Aadujeevitham, Tiyaan, Karnan and Detroit Crossing, among others. He has acted in Telugu project Police Police, and also made a mark in Bollywood with films Aiyyaa, Aurangzeb and Naam Shabana.
I would like to be the owner of a successful production company that makes good movies as well as commercial entertainers," he had said.
Yes, Prithviraj is one of the owners of production house August Cinema, which bankrolled movies Urumi, Indian Rupee, Kadal Kadannu Oru Maathukutty, Double Barrel, Sapthamashree Thaskaraha, Darvinte Parinamam, Anuraga Karikkin Vellam and The Great Father, apart from distributing a few other hit movies in Kerala.
I want to be a director who makes movies on very interesting subjects," Prithviraj had said.
The young actor has announced his directorial debut Lucifer, starring superstar Mohanlal and the ambitious project, scripted by Murali Gopy and produced by Antony Perumbavoor, will go on floors in 2018.
I would like to be a good family man, proud son for my mother and to live by my father's ideologies and not soil his good name," Ennu Ninte Moideen actor is heard saying in the footage that has gone viral on social media.
