Prithviraj talks about being 'Aurangzeb'

25th October 2012

Bollywood's newest entrant Prithviraj, who recently made his debut opposite Rani Mukerji in 'Aiyyaa' is already riding high on his second film. 

He who is currently shooting for 'Aurangzeb' alongwith Bollywood's current most talked about newcomer Arjun Kapoor, claims that unlike his debut film, his second venture doesn't completely focus on his looks. 

Prithvi who has several hits to his credit down south, didn't get a flying start to his Bollywood career as 'Aiyyaa' tanked miserably at the box office. But Prithviraj is not disappointed with the loss, as he revealed that he did get positive response for it as well. 

Talking about 'Aurangzeb', he said that the film is an intense drama and is certainly not a period film. 

"Aurangzeb is a very intense drama; it's not about my looks and it is certainly not a period film. It's a contemporary story set in present day India. There is a reason why it has been named as 'Aurangzeb'," said Prithvi who refused to further reveal any details about the film. 

He says working with big names at the very start of his Bollywood career made him realize that it was time to give Hindi films a try, "When Aditya Chopra offered me this film, I really thought may be now I should be part of more Hindi films."
