Career
He made his debut in Kaivantha Kalai (2006) directed by his father Pandiarajan and the film opened to average reviews from critics. A critic noted Prithvi Rajan "makes his debut, does a convincing job and has his father's mannerisms."[1] His next release, Naalaiya Pozhuthum Unnodu (2007), a romantic love story featuring Karthika Adaikalam had a much lower key release and failed at the box office.[2] His next, Gemini Raghava's Vaidehi (2009), also featured the same actress.[3]
During the making of Padhinettan Kudi Ellai Arambam, he was injured in a fire accident and suffered burn injuries. The film released in December 2011 with little publicity. In 2011 his current project, with his brother Prem Rajan, was Varatti.[4]
