- PRITHVIRAJ SUKUMARAN

Prithviraj, you said your daughter has not watched any of your movies. Which is the first film you'll show her?

Prithviraj: I haven't shown my daughter any of my films because she's nine years old right now. If she sees my film, she's not mature enough to understand that it's not me. She'll keep seeing her father on screen and that'll add a completely different context. But at some point in her life when she's ready this is a film I really want her to watch. I don't think I can pick another film from my filmography where I've given so much of myself. More importantly at some point in her life she's going to ask me what does it mean to be an actor? I'll show her this film and tell her this is what you have to give. It's a trade off and this is how much you'll have to commit yourself to your craft.

Lastly, what does being a GOAT mean to you?

Prithviraj: It's become this Gen Z lingo where it's used everywhere from sports and cinema. To me, anybody who is trying to be the best version of themselves is a GOAT. Contextually for this film, Najeeb's life is one of the greatest of all time. For a human being to have lived through the experiences that you'll see in the movie and to have fought through those experiences and come off the other end and be able to retell the tale so that the world knows about it, is definitely a GOAT move.
