After the release of his hundredth film, Koode, in mid-July, Prithviraj is eagerly waiting to direct Lucifer.
HE WAS Rani Mukerji’s dream man in the film Aiyya. The film had Rani Mukerji’s character literally drooling over him. Prithviraj Sukumaran, the youngest actor to win the Kerala state award for the best actor, however, is much more than just eye candy. He is also one of the most progressive voices in the Malayalam film industry—which, otherwise, is in the tight grips of misogyny and patriarchy. And, with his 100th film—the much-awaited Anjali Menon’s Koode—Prithviraj is standing tall. Prithviraj may be accused of being arrogant, haughty and even full of himself, but, no one will call him pretentious. Political correctness has never been one of his strong points; not many actors would dare tell Mollywood giants like Mammootty and Mohanlal to act their age. “I am someone who lives life on my own terms,” said Prithviraj. “In fact, this is the only way I know to live.... I say and do things which I believe in. I am not here to please everyone.” Try telling him that his behaviour might be mistaken for overconfidence, and he would almost snub you by saying “only under-confident people would think so”.

William Dalrymple goes further back
Indian readers have long known William Dalrymple as the chronicler nonpareil of India in the early years of the British raj. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a striking departure, since it takes him to a period from about the third century BC to the 12th-13th centuries CE.
The bleat from the street
What with all the apps delivering straight to one’s doorstep, the supermarkets, the food halls and even the occasional (super-expensive) pop-up thela (cart) offering the woke from field-to-fork option, the good old veggie-market/mandi has fallen off my regular beat.

Upgrade your jeans
If you don’t live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
