Naam Shabana will be a game changer for Prithviraj in Bollywood

Prithviraj Sukumaran’s latest movie Ezra is getting excellent reports from all the release centres. The movie has taken a great opening in the Kerala box office and is expected to continue the tremendous run in the coming days.

Meanwhile, the actor’s upcoming Bollywood movie Naam Shabana is gearing up for release on March 31.
Official trailer for the movie was released few days back.

Naam Shabana, as we had earlier reported, is the prequel to Akshay Kumar‘s 2014 spy thriller, Baby. The new movie, directed by Shivam Nair, is a spin off revolving around Taapsee Pannu’s character, Shabana Khan from the original.

From the trailer, it is learnt that Prithvi is playing the character Tony, a most wanted criminal. Akshay Kumar and Anupam Kher are playing cameo roles in the movie. Prithviraj has earlier played villain characters in Kollywood flicks, Kana Kandaen and Kaaviya Thalaivan.

Naam Shabana is Prithviraj’s third Bollywood movie after starring in Aiyyaa and Aurangazeb. Unfortunately, both the movies could not taste commercial success. In Aiyyaa, he played a South Indian, for whom Rani Mukherjee’s character falls head over heels. He played a cop in Aurangzeb starring Arjun Kapoor in a dual role. His performance in Aurangzeb alongside the veteran Rishi Kapoor was highly appreciated.

So, the actor will be looking to set the record straight with Naam Shabana. The movie will be releasing good hype majorly due to Akshay Kumar’s presence and ace filmmaker Neeraj Pandey’s production.
