Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran has reportedly been solid in Meghna Gulzar’s upcoming film, replacing Ayushmann Khurrana, who exited the project resulting from scheduling conflicts. The film, tentatively titled Daayra, is predicted to feature Prithviraj as a cop, with the storyline inspired by an actual and unsettling incident.

In line with a report by India Today, Prithviraj was approached after each Ayushmann Khurrana and Sidharth Malhotra opted out resulting from scheduling issues. “Prithviraj connected with the script and its powerful message. His role is important to driving the narrative, while Kareena’s character will show her in a brand new light, mixing strength, vulnerability, and intuition,” the source shared with the portal.
Why Ayushmann Khurrana Exited the Project
Ayushmann Khurrana’s departure from Daayra is attributed to multiple commitments, including an in depth music tour across major U.S. cities, in addition to upcoming movies akin to Border 2 and other projects with Karan Johar, Guneet Monga Kapoor, and Maddock Movies. On account of overlapping dates, Ayushmann decided to not pursue Daayra, leaving a gap for Prithviraj to step in.
Prithviraj’s Recent and Upcoming Projects
Prithviraj Sukumaran, who was recently seen in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan alongside Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, played the antagonist within the Ali Abbas Zafar-directed film. The actor also starred in Aadujeevitham (The Goat Life), based on Benyamin’s acclaimed novel, portraying the gripping journey of Najeeb, an immigrant labourer trapped in slavery within the Middle East.
Looking ahead, Prithviraj has wrapped the third schedule of his directorial project L2E: Empuraan, a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster Lucifer. The film, starring Mohanlal, has generated significant anticipation as fans await the return of Mohanlal’s character, Stephen Nedumpally. L2E: Empuraan will release in multiple languages.
