The whole Indian film industry is sending birthday greetings to Prithviraj Sukumaran, who turns 41 today. Salaar, directed by Prashant Neel and starring Prabhas, is one of his most anticipated projects and is set for release later this year.
Prithviraj is portraying the role of Varadharaja Mannaar, The King, and his appearance in this role is unlike any other persona that Prithviraj has ever been in. The overall colour tone and his attire follow the hue of black and grey, giving off the impression of a dark and chaotic appeal while maintaining a level-headed manner. It is possible to view Prithviraj sporting a regal appearance by accessorising with a nasal ring and a black tilak applied to his forehead.
His supporters shared the poster throughout their various social media accounts with birthday greetings and well wishes for him.
