Prithviraj’s next three films will see him in cop avatars
First, Rosshan Andrrews’s Mumbai Police in which he teams up
with Rahman and Jayasurya.
The movie scripted by Bobby –Sanjay will hit the screens in
May.
His second film in Bollywood film, Aurangzeb, is scheduled
to release on May 17.
Prithviraj plays a Haryanvi cop in this crime drama in which
he shares the screen with Arjun Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor.
His next Malayalam movie is Jeethu Joseph’s Memories in
which the actor plays an alcoholic cop.
Prithviraj’s back-to-back cop films is just a matter of
coincidence. In fact, he signed Mumbai Police two years ago and the project was
delayed as Rosshan was busy with Casanova. He began shooting for Aurangzeb even
before his first film in Hindi, Aiyya, was released.
Unfortunately, most of the films in which he played a cop
have not fared well at the box office.
His last two cop outing s in Malayalam, Masters and The Thriller, were
not accepted well. Raavanan, his magnum opus with Mani Ratnam also failed to
rake in the moolah. His most memorable
cop role in Malayalam is M.Padmakumar’s Vargam which got much critical acclaim.
His fans are waiting to see him break this jinx, that too
after winning State award and receiving acclaim for his last two films.
