Prithviraj Sukumaran on His Transformation for ‘The Goat Life,’ ‘Salaar,’ ‘Lucifer’ Sequels and ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’ Franchise Plans (EXCLUSIVE)


Indian cinema A-lister Prithviraj Sukumaran is extremely busy, with a hit film in theaters, another due this week and several more in the works.

“I knew as an actor that this was a prerequisite, that to actually portray the entire character arc I’d have to go through this drastic physical transformation of losing a lot of weight and looking very emaciated,” Sukumaran told Variety. Alongside Prabhas, Sukumaran led Prashanth Neel’s Telugu-language action film “ Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire,” which was one of the biggest Indian hits of 2023. Sukumaran attributes the success to the industry being blessed with a host of new-age filmmakers, writers, actors and producers who are adventurous in their approach to cinema and an audience responding to those aesthetics and also to the establishment of a distribution network that takes films beyond Kerala to the rest of the world.
