Prithviraj Sukumaran was born in Thiruvananthapuram to actors Sukumaran and Mallika Sukumaran. His initial schooling was at Shrine Vailankanni Senior Secondary School, T. Nagar, Chennai and St. Joseph’s Boys’ Hr. Sec.

He completed the rest of his school education at Sainik School, Kazhakootam and Bharathiya Vidya Bhavan, Thiruvananthapuram. He also participated and won several debates and elocution competitions while in school.[12] Prithviraj won the title of “Mr LA Fest” in the Annual Inter-School arts festival hosted by Loyola School, Thiruvananthapuram in successive years and is the only person to date to win that title twice.[13]

While pursuing his bachelor’s degree in Information Technology at the University of Tasmania, Australia, he was called for a shot in the movies by film director Ranjith Balakrishnan to play the lead role in his film Nandanam.[12] It was Fazil, a well known Malayalam film director, who introduced him to Ranjith.[12] After his performance in Nandanam, he decided to take a break from studies to concentrate on his film career. Prithviraj’s elder brother Indrajith Sukumaran and sister-in-law Poornima Indrajith are also film actors.
