Opening about being privileged, Prithiviraj said, “In Kerala, we live quite close to each other, and we are all well ‘Nepo kids” He further added, “I have had it easy to come into the industry. I got my first film only because of my surname. Someone thought I would make a good lead actor because I was so and so’s son. I wasn’t even screen tested. I owe my first film only to my surname, nothing else.”

He further continued, “But I owe only my first film to my surname because in cinema, the thing is, you could be anybody’s son or daughter, but you’re being evaluated by the public that coming Friday. If you’re not good enough, you’re not good enough, that’s it. You can’t be protected. You can’t be protected by the board of directors. You are out there to be judged by the public and you’ll have to face them. But having said that, I repeat, yes, I’ve had it easy to get into the industry.”
