His directorial debut, Lucifer, starring Mohanlal, became a major commercial success. The film established him as a director capable of handling a large-scale commercial entertainer while also continuing his career as an actor.

He later directed Bro Daddy, a family comedy featuring Mohanlal and himself.

Prithviraj subsequently returned to the Lucifer universe with L2: Empuraan, which expanded the scale of the franchise considerably.

The actor-director has also spoken about plans for a third film in the Lucifer franchise, although his busy acting and filmmaking schedule means that the project will have to fit around his other commitments.

Prithviraj has also made a mark as a producer. He and his wife, Supriya Menon, are associated with Prithviraj Productions.

The production company has been involved in producing and distributing films, allowing Prithviraj to have a greater role in the business side of cinema.

For the actor, production has become another important part of his career alongside acting and direction.

Prithviraj is married to Supriya Menon, who has also been involved in the film production business. The couple have a daughter.

While Prithviraj is frequently in the spotlight because of his films, he generally keeps his personal life away from excessive public attention.
