Prithviraj's Top 5 Malayalam movies from last decade: Tiyaan', 'Koode' & others

A popular star of the Malayalam cinema, Prithviraj, made his acting debut at the age of 19. The son of actors Sukumaran and Mallika, Prithviraj, had a humble start with Renjith's Nandanam, which helped him make a mark, especially for his chocolate boy looks. In an old interview, Prithviraj did not hesitate in accepting the fact that acting was not a serious profession for him until he started learning the nuances of the craft. In an acting career spanning more than two decades, the actor has proved that he is more than his good looks. Here is a list that explores Prithviraj's best Malayalam movies of the last decade.
