In recent developments, Prithviraj Sukumaran’s unwavering commitment to his upcoming movie ‘Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life’ has become a focal point of discussions on social media, especially since the release of its trailer and teasers. Fans are drawing connections between the values and legacy Prithviraj upholds in his acting career and the similar approach adopted by Vijay Sethupathi’s son, Surya Sethupathi.
Surya recently announced his debut film ‘Phoenix’ with Anl Arasu Arasakumar. In a circulating video on Twitter, Surya can be heard explaining his decision to use just his first name, Surya, on the ‘Phoenix’ poster instead of ‘Surya Vijay Sethupathi’. He expressed his desire to establish his own identity in the industry without relying on his father’s name. However, the announcement of his debut film was met with criticism on social media, with some users accusing him of benefiting from nepotism due to his father’s influence in the film industry.
Contrastingly, Prithviraj Sukumaran began his acting journey with the 2002 film ‘Nandanam’. In a recent interview, he disclosed that his father, Sukumaran, played a role in securing his first movie opportunity. The film’s producers believed that the son of the esteemed actor would be a suitable choice for their project. Despite this advantage, Prithviraj acknowledges that if someone else had been given the same opportunity, they might have performed even better than him. He candidly admitted that his initial role was a result of his family’s legacy. However, he has since focused on carving out his own path in the industry, emphasizing his personal struggles and dedication to his individual projects, avoiding reliance on his father’s reputation.
