Prithviraj Sukumaran was the first choice for Su Su Sudhi Vathmeekam !
World of movies is a world of uncertainty. It is very common in the industry for some movies not to go as per the initial plans. There have been many incidents in Mollywood itself where movies have failed to kick-start after being announcing officially. There can be many unknown reasons for that. Sometimes it can be due to date clashes, sometimes due to difference of opinion between the actor and director, budget problems or even due to personal choices. Recently, we came to know about one such interesting incident in Mollywood.
Su Su Sudhi Vathmeekam directed by Ranjith Sankar was released in 2015 with Jayasurya in the lead. But not many know that Prithviraj Sukumaran was the first choice for the title role. The actor himself had posted a first look poster of the movie in his official Facebook page back in 2013. Back then the movie was titled as Sudhi Vathmeekam. Prithviraj has described about the movie as “a journey of a special man we have been discussing for sometime now. His story of love, laughter, friendship, struggles and happiness..”

Director Ranjith Sankar, himself has told in many interviews that the movie was inspired from the real life of one of his friends. The movie showcased the life of a person struggling with stammering. It was a inspiring tale that showed the troubles of such a person, the social stigma associated with it and how he successfully overcame it. Jayasurya delivered a top notch performance as Sudhi which fetched him his first National Award for best actor- special mention in the year 2015. The movie was also an average grosser in the box office.
Now, we wonder how Prithviraj would have played that role. He is also an equally efficient actor like Jayasurya, so there is no chance of of a comparison here. We believe that he opted out of the project most probably due to date issues. Remember, he acted in 13 movies during the period from 2013-15.
Prithviraj has worked with Ranjith Sankar earlier in Arjunan Sakshi in 2011. The following year he played a small but pivotal role in the director’s next movie- Molly Aunty Rocks starring Revathy in the lead.
Here’s hoping that Ranjith Sankar joins hands with Prithviraj again any time soon.
