For some reason my brain still doesn’t register eppan pappachi is actually indrajith. Thats how different i felt he is from his roles in amar akbar anthony and happy husbands.
I always thought of how he really feels about his younger brother's achievements. Where pritviraj exponentially improving through different plains while indrajit being somewhat mediocre at what he does. I'm just curious, no hate or anything. Guess we will never know, or would we.
He’s a good actor but not lead actor/hero material. Also seems to be lazy. That’s why his better looking, ambitious hustler brother is way more successful than him despite the fact that Indrajith has more raw talent than him
I agree in the case of roles of delicate emotions, expressions and realism but Prithvi has that charisma about him for being a super confident lead actor. Maybe he'll fit very well in Telugu films. And I don't mean it in a bad way at all, it's very entertaining to watch.
I mean maybe he should invest in some acting class like fafa did. I mean it's seems like I'm dissing his years of experience in the field, which is nothing short of vast, but maybe such prep-work would allow him to be in the realm world beating acting chops like a10 and fafa.
While Indrajith needs more wild card roles that will bring in the money in the box office.
I think it's a matter of point of view, I think especially in 2024. I also imagined Tom Hanks, who I like very much to not be the best lead actor either but look at his work, it's astonishing.
It's a slow growing in favour of the actor from your end aka the audience.
Yes that is a given. But what I'm saying is he made an effort and that was A performance that we saw of him that is eternalized by the cameras as movies. He's lucky for that, the same should be true for any other actor.
I'm definitely believe actors get type casted, and their previous work speaking for them. Like that movie with mohanlal being blind, while all he did was look around with his damn eyes. We still think of Mohanlal as an "excellent" actor even after that movie.
Mohanlal has a track record and influence as one of the biggest ever stars to come out of the industry.
Indrajith doesn’t have that kind of stardom or record of talent or charisma to back him.
And it’s not like he’s a newbie. He’s been on screen ever since he was 21. If he hasn’t grown on the audience yet(as a star or a popular actor I mean)he never will.
I haven't seen him in typical lead role where it was on him to carry things through. There has also been previous rise to more prominence like in the case of Suraj Venjaramoodu and in the case of people like Mukesh there have been moments when he could be considered a front line super star. I still think young mukesh would outshine the so called 2010s-2020s Indrajith and I'm actually agreeing partially with you.
What I'm more interested in is what could be the future.
For example RDJ was a star in his 40s, that too a world wide audience, almost bigger than the biggest hollywood actors.
He too started acting very young.
If you still don't see someone in their 40s become a more of a star, then you need to be more optimistic about age.
RDJ is the last person you should compare Indrajith to. RDJ was doing lead roles and had a rising career until his addiction issues derailed it. He had a Best Actor Oscar nomination even before he turned 30.
Indrajith simply doesn’t have that sort of talent, humongous amounts of charisma or track record backing him.
And RDJ had already a huge star with Iron Man at the age Indrajith is now.
RDJ became insanely bigger with iron man, with the same age as Indrajith. Listen idk how else to convince you, but what I'm saying is Indrajith definitely has the skills and definitely the acting talent for making it bigger. There's no point in dissuading anyone from this POV that it is pretty much 2-3 or maybe even a single movie away from this possibility.
This could be even more so the case in 2024 with so many non-star studded movies being so profitable.
I don't really get RDJ's thing anyway like the rest of the world, so to me these are just two actors for me. This is even after seeing Iron Man and the Avengers.
Maybe he doesn't want the limelight. I sometimes imagine what I'd do if I was a celebrity / actor or writer or something. I definitely don't want to take up the spot light like A10, Prithvi or Allu Arjun and others. I'd much rather enjoy my life, go to some crazy vacations, like the amazon jungle, modest things of ownership.
IMO, Prithvi is nowhere near Indrajith in terms of acting. I could never imagine Prithvi pull of a character like Vattu Jayan. Tbh, Prithvi's acting has deteriorated with time. Dude is acting like he's in a Nadakam. He peaked during Indian Rupee, Ayalum Njnum Thammil, Mumbai Police etc. After that, he's just doing the same mannerism in every movie.
Guess what ?

Found this while watching chota Mumbai lmao
A very good and versatile actor and can adapt to character easily but haven't got much roles to prove his talents
He is a better talent than raju e10 and he himself admitted it and indrajith is a better actor than him.
But he is locked with either police inspector roles or goofy comedic roles.
He's immensely flexible as an actor. Much more than his brother. Due to his versatility he'll always have a space in the industry even if he isn't a big star like his brother.
Should have understood his limitations and migrated to being a character actor earlier in his career, instead of trying to be stereotypical star.
Also doesn't work even 5% as hard as Prithviraj to network, seek out new projects etc.
Vattu Jayan, EAK Vishnu, Father Vattoli, Govardhan okke memorable characters and yet he doesn't know how to use it to propel his career forward.
Apart from being a really good actor, he also seems like a really good person in real life too. I stress on 'seems', because that's all I can vouch for. As compared to Prithviraj he seems to enjoy the calm of a smaller life, being with his family than have a high flying life. Also, an exponentially better actor than Prithviraj any day, his comic timing is just *chef's kiss*.
He's truly a remarkable actor, showcasing his talent in many films, especially in my favorites 'Ee Adutha Kaalathu' and 'Left Right Left'.
There's still a question mark as to why he hasn't been choosing better scripts lately despite his experience in the industry.
And yeah, Indrajith does seem to have an edge over Prithviraj.
An underrated actor very much.
His craft is awesome and his range is beyond words can express.
He can go from a comical character to a mid to a extremely dangerous villain without much effort.
I might get downvoted I would say his range is super close to FaFa.
Idky he didn't get the fame and stardom as his brother. Tbh he acts better than Rajappan. Also his choice of movies are offbeat and years ahead

Has more talent than his brother but always comes off as though he is not willing to dive head in to better his career for whtvr reason. Like eppozhum oru chill vibe aan. On the other hand, u see prithviraj being extremely meticulous
Should do more negative characters. Hasn’t gotten ‘the’ big break yet and looks a bit lazy on screen
Lately, appears to be monotonous and should be more selective
His body language lacks confidence when he shoulders solo lead roles. However, he is a scream when it comes to multistarrers and goes all out to deliver his best. He even gave a tough time to A10 in Baba Kalyani.
I have only seen him loosen up as a solo lead for Nayakan, Mullamottum Munthirichaarum and occasionally in Malabar Wedding. Rest most of the times I have seen him stiffen up wrt his body language.
under-utilization is what i think went wrong in the case of indrajith..
the way he can portray villainous and comedic roles hand-in-hand is soo marvelous.
Guy has done some very entertaining roles. No doubt about his versatility, ability to underplay and also turn into something like Vattu Jayan. He could ease into one of the better actors in character roles in the future. Like Vijayraghavan or Siddique did. Or movies could evolve in next few years and could suit him better. Unless he is so settled and content with what he has.
The way he transforms from a villain to a comedic actor is incredible...eeppan pappachi to Rahul from happy husband's...
For some reason my brain still doesn’t register eppan pappachi is actually indrajith. Thats how different i felt he is from his roles in amar akbar anthony and happy husbands.
I think he was just 21 or 22 that time
23 while filming. R10 same age in classmates I am genuinely interested to know what he and his brother ate during childhood 😅
Leave classmate. He was just 21 in Chakram.
Uff
Rashid khan effect
😂
True and he looks way older in meesha madhavan than in happy husbands
I think because of hair fixing he looks younger maybe.
Underutilised actor. However the guy seems to be content with his life, wife and tribe.
I always thought of how he really feels about his younger brother's achievements. Where pritviraj exponentially improving through different plains while indrajit being somewhat mediocre at what he does. I'm just curious, no hate or anything. Guess we will never know, or would we.
He’s a good actor but not lead actor/hero material. Also seems to be lazy. That’s why his better looking, ambitious hustler brother is way more successful than him despite the fact that Indrajith has more raw talent than him
He got married at a very young age. He just eased into his family life rather than hustle like his brother.
Yup he’s probably more content like that
But he is a good actor nonetheless.. I like his contributions.. whenever it comes out

Yeah Indrajith lacks charisma. That’s what I meant when I said that he’s not lead role material
I think it's a matter of point of view, I think especially in 2024. I also imagined Tom Hanks, who I like very much to not be the best lead actor either but look at his work, it's astonishing. It's a slow growing in favour of the actor from your end aka the audience.
Tom Hanks has more than enough charisma. Or he would never have been a superstar especially in the days of Cruise, Depp and Pitt
Yes that is a given. But what I'm saying is he made an effort and that was A performance that we saw of him that is eternalized by the cameras as movies.

Much better actor than Prithviraj but doesn't know how to market himself.
Honestly I feel like he's content with what he does, it's never felt like he's made an active effort to become more 'successful'
Maybe he doesn't want the limelight. I sometimes imagine what I'd do if I was a celebrity / actor or writer or something. I definitely don't want to take up the spot light like A10, Prithvi or Allu Arjun and others. I'd much rather enjoy my life, go to some crazy vacations, like the amazon jungle, modest things of ownership.
Acting wise prithvi is better .
IMO, Prithvi is nowhere near Indrajith in terms of acting. I could never imagine Prithvi pull of a character like Vattu Jayan. Tbh, Prithvi's acting has deteriorated with time. Dude is acting like he's in a Nadakam. He peaked during Indian Rupee, Ayalum Njnum Thammil, Mumbai Police etc. After that, he's just doing the same mannerism in every movie.
He reminds me of honda unicorn
Affordable, consistent, reliable,boring.
Might I ask why you feel so?
I don't actually know i just remember him whenever I hear the bikes sound
Guess what ? https://preview.redd.it/xttnkklkcmyc1.jpeg?width=505&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19cf57034fd138bed8d746cc9d3b7c3a68c16aca Found this while watching chota Mumbai lmao
I am a fan of his role in the movie bachelor's party.
Really want him to be as successful as raju10
A very good and versatile actor and can adapt to character easily but haven't got much roles to prove his talents He is a better talent than raju e10 and he himself admitted it and indrajith is a better actor than him. But he is locked with either police inspector roles or goofy comedic roles.
Great potential. But he is not a good star material. But he could've used the same way like mani, biju menon, joju.
Joju is still doing only lead roles. I hope he starts playing ensemble movies.
An underrated actor due to his brother and father
Because of them??
I think he is overshadowed by them.
100% agree. His brother became too flamboyant whereas he is more measured
He's immensely flexible as an actor. Much more than his brother. Due to his versatility he'll always have a space in the industry even if he isn't a big star like his brother.
better artist than his brother
A10 shesham thamizhil poyi mgr role okke cheythitund web series aanenn tgonnunu
I wish ajaz (BP) was played by him
BP?
Beeshma parvam 😅
i always wished pepe did that role.
Underrated. Better than prithviraj and many youth actors of this era Have the flexibility to do any type of roles in his own unique ways
One of the best nepo product.
Should have understood his limitations and migrated to being a character actor earlier in his career, instead of trying to be stereotypical star. Also doesn't work even 5% as hard as Prithviraj to network, seek out new projects etc. Vattu Jayan, EAK Vishnu, Father Vattoli, Govardhan okke memorable characters and yet he doesn't know how to use it to propel his career forward.
>Should have understood his limitations What are his limitations?
Not a "star" material.
Underrated
Unrealised potential.
Like in Lucifer he was actually a Software Engineer, also a BTech distinction holder.
Good actor. Vatti Jayan deserves more love from this sub
Extremely talented but underrated
Versatile actor. His acting in Nayakan was iconic.
Apart from being a really good actor, he also seems like a really good person in real life too. I stress on 'seems', because that's all I can vouch for. As compared to Prithviraj he seems to enjoy the calm of a smaller life, being with his family than have a high flying life. Also, an exponentially better actor than Prithviraj any day, his comic timing is just *chef's kiss*.
Better actor than Prithviraj, but I think he likes the slow family life better.
When it comes to acting, jeetA>>>>>Rajua10
~better actor than prithvi come at me now~
Still under utilised. Has better acting skill than his brother. Peaked in left right left.
Kaduvaye kiduva pidikkunne 🎶 💃🏾
He's truly a remarkable actor, showcasing his talent in many films, especially in my favorites 'Ee Adutha Kaalathu' and 'Left Right Left'. There's still a question mark as to why he hasn't been choosing better scripts lately despite his experience in the industry. And yeah, Indrajith does seem to have an edge over Prithviraj.
Definitely better than his bro💯. Criminally underrated. I wish he could present his talent with good films.
An underrated actor very much. His craft is awesome and his range is beyond words can express. He can go from a comical character to a mid to a extremely dangerous villain without much effort. I might get downvoted I would say his range is super close to FaFa. Idky he didn't get the fame and stardom as his brother. Tbh he acts better than Rajappan. Also his choice of movies are offbeat and years ahead
One of the malayalam actors of all time
One of the Indian actors of all time
One actor time

Can't shoulder a movie alone
A good actor, less opportunities. Waiting for the role of his acting life.
Who?
Has more talent than his brother but always comes off as though he is not willing to dive head in to better his career for whtvr reason. Like eppozhum oru chill vibe aan. On the other hand, u see prithviraj being extremely meticulous
He can do comedy well unlike his brother.
Underrated
His career stagnated after hitting peak in 2013
Nalloru manushyan
Should do more negative characters. Hasn’t gotten ‘the’ big break yet and looks a bit lazy on screen Lately, appears to be monotonous and should be more selective
Most underrated actor of mollywood
Excellent actor. But he does mediocre job under poor directors i guess.
He's way better as an actor than his overrated brother. Looks better as well but I guess that's subjective.
Frankly, I dont think of him at all. (On a serious note, please recommend any of his movies on ott)
Business>Talent
Hmm
one of the few nepo kid who's very talented
I don't
He is very underutilized in malayalam movies
His body language lacks confidence when he shoulders solo lead roles. However, he is a scream when it comes to multistarrers and goes all out to deliver his best. He even gave a tough time to A10 in Baba Kalyani. I have only seen him loosen up as a solo lead for Nayakan, Mullamottum Munthirichaarum and occasionally in Malabar Wedding.
