Last year, Prithviraj's wife Supriya Menon had also penned a lengthy emotional statement. She had written, "Achan, I see a slice of you every day in the man I live with. They tell me he looks like you, behaves like you and has even inherited your famous temper. How I wish Ally and I could have seen these similarities for ourselves. You will always be remembered with love Achan."

It was in 2002 when Prithviraj made his acting debut with a role in Ranjith's romantic drama Nandanam. The movie went on to become a hit and was very well-received by fans. Ever since then, there has been no looking back for him. He's been a part of a slew of movies like Urumi, Classmates, Ayalum Njanum Thammil, Indian Rupee, which were acclaimed. 

Apart from his films in Mollywood, Prithviraj Sukumaran has also appeared in various Telugu, Tamil and Hindi movies. He made his Bollywood debut with the movie Aiyyaa. His upcoming movies include Barroz: Guardian of D'Gama's Treasure, Kuruthi, Aadujeevitham, among others.

Speaking about Kuruthi, he had penned, "It was edited online..and unlike most online edits..this one was pretty much the final cut of the film. Jakes was working on the score as we shot..and the entire post-production apart from the final Atmos mix of the film took less than a month. Back in the beginning of 2021, when we wrapped the film, we hoped it would hit theatres very soon. We are still waiting..as is the world around us..for better times."
