Did his schooling from Sainik School, Thiruvananthapuram and Bharathiya
Vidya Bhavan School, Thiruvananthapuram. He also pursued his Bachelor's
degree in Engineering/IT from the University of Tasmania,
Australia.
Was asked to wear a beard in films because directors felt that it would
make him look older.
While vacationing in Trivandrum, he was grabbed by director Ranjith to
act in Nandanam (2002). He was then flooded with other tempting film offers
that Prithviraj, then in his second year in Engineering, decided to
take a break from studies to concentrate on acting.
