Turning down the offer to direct Rajinikanth is Prithviraj’s biggest regret in life

Prithviraj revealed that turning down the opportunity to direct Rajinikanth will be one of his biggest regrets in life.




Multifaceted filmmaker Prithviraj is basking in the success of his latest film Driving Licence. Directed by Lal Jr, the film has emerged a top choice for the movie-goers across Kerala during this holiday season.

While talking to his fans recently as part of the movie promotion, Prithviraj revealed one of his biggest regrets in life. “After the release of Lucifer, Rajinikanth gave me an offer to direct his next film. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take it up because of Aadujeevitham. I don’t think I have typed a longer sorry note to anyone in my life,” he said, adding that he will regret missing that opportunity forever in his life.

Prithviraj made his debut earlier this year as a director with Lucifer. The film was in cold storage for a long time due to various reasons. The film’s writer Murali Gopy later offered Prithviraj to direct the film and the latter was more than willing to oblige. Even as the film was announced in 2016, it did not go on the floors till late 2018. And when it hit the screens on March 28 this year, it went on to become the biggest earner globally in the history of Malayalam cinema.

Buoyed by the huge success, Mohanlal, Prithviraj and Murali Gopy have already announced two more follow up films to Lucifer. The sequel has been titled Empuraan and it will go into production during the second half of 2020.
