When Prithviraj Sukumaran said Dulquer Salmaan and he are the ‘nepo kids’

Prithviraj Sukumaran and Dulquer Salmaan are undoubtedly one of the most sought-after actors from M-Town. Having roots in the Malayalam movie industry, and further expanding their horizons as actors, they surely have many things in common, including the fact that they are star kids.

Prithviraj and Dulquer are in fact neighbours too, and they hung out together while they were in Kerala. A while ago, Prithviraj called himself and Dulquer, the ‘nepo kids’. In an earlier conversation with Mashable India, Prithviraj admitted that he and Dulquer Salmaan are ‘nepo kids’, who have had it easier than their counterparts when it comes to getting into the movie industry.

He stated that though they are ‘nepo kids’, he only owes his first film to the ‘surname’. “I am going to talk just about myself. I understand and accept the fact that I’ve had it easy while coming into the industry. I got my first film only because of my surname. Someone thought I would make a good actor because I’m so and so’s son. I wasn’t even screen-tested.”

He also emphasized that he only owes his first film to his surname. However, everything after that is a result of his hard work.

Meanwhile, Prithviraj Sukumaran was last seen in the blockbuster ‘Guruvayooor Ambalanadayil’.


On the other hand, Dulquer Salmaan’s recent outing was ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. He played a crucial role in the Prabhas starrer, which also featured Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone. The film hit the big screen on June 27, and is now running successfully in the cinemas now.
