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."[3] 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.[4] His next, Gemini Raghava's Vaidehi (2009), also featured the same actress.[5]
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.[6] He acted in lead role in Thodraa (2018), Kadhal Munnetra Kazhagam (2019), Ganesha Meendum Santhipom (2019) and Obama Ungalukkaaga (2021).[7][8][9][10] Prithvi Pandiarajan has moved from one period setting to another in films such as Blue Star (2024), Parasakthi (2026) and Kara (2026).[11]

Prithvi Rajan is the second son of actor-director Pandiarajan.[12] His elder brother Pallavarajan had once announced a project starring Prithvi titled Eliyum Poonaiyum which never took off, while his younger brother Prem Rajan, is in the cast list of Prithvi's film Varatti.
