Why couldn’t he just wait for a while more to become the hero of some other Mani Rathnam film instead of taking unnecessary risk by accepting a villain role in Mani Rathnam's new multi-starrer film? Close friends and well-wishers of this young star have the same question! They wonder if it was such a smart decision to accept the villain's role.
Nevertheless, Prithviraj is so happy that he got this opportunity to star in Mani Rathnam’s untitled film with Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan in the lead roles. Vikram also has an important role in this mega-project.
Though Prithviraj entered Kollywood playing a villain in Kana Kandein (2005), later he switched to lead roles. As a hero, he is doing very well indeed. Super hits like Paarijatham, Mozhi and Vellithirai have given him the image of a soft hero. But the actor is now going back to playing negative roles for a second time, simply because Mani Rathnam asked him to.
Prithviraj is trying to be different in a villain's role for a big reason -- one which every actor in India considers as a worthy one -- Mani Rathnam. Remember Mammootty in Mani Rathnam’s Thalapathy as a supporting cast! After the movie, Mammootty had a good break in Tamil. It seems that Prithviraj is also expecting something similar or even better!
