In a recent interview with IndiaToday.in, acclaimed actor Prithviraj Sukumaran reiterated his steadfast commitment to prioritizing art over political inclinations in his film choices. Amidst glowing reviews for his role in ‘Salaar: Part 1: Ceasefire’ alongside Prabhas, the ‘Bramayugam’ actor emphasized his unwavering dedication to storytelling devoid of political agendas.
Addressing queries regarding the perceived political undertones of his film ‘Jana Gana Mana,’ Prithviraj clarified that his cinematic pursuits have consistently been driven by artistic passion rather than the promotion of any specific political ideology. He firmly stated, “I can only truthfully claim that I have never been a part of any film for any reason other than being artistically attached to it.”
The versatile artist delved into his refusal to engage in projects meant to propagate personal political agendas. He asserted, “I will refuse to be a part of the film where I want to say something personally that is political.”
Elaborating on his belief in the importance of diverse cinematic perspectives, Prithviraj advocated for the appropriateness of exploring varied viewpoints in storytelling. He highlighted the significance of embracing differing opinions and narratives on screen, stating, “Perspectives will differ, and opinions will differ. What is right to you might be wrong to me, and vice versa.”
Looking ahead, Prithviraj has a slew of projects in the pipeline, including ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,’ ‘Sarjameen,’ ‘Aadujeevitham,’ and his directorial venture ‘Empuraan,’ featuring the renowned actor Mohanlal.
