The turning point in Prithviraj's life came when he shifted to New Theatres,
Calcutta in 1933. He broke through that year with Rajrani Meera (1933)
and then with Debaki Bose's Seeta (1934). He mainly acted in their Hindi
versions with Durgadas Banerjee often playing the same role in the Bengali
version. Prithviraj was associated with some of the best films of New Theatres
like Manzil (1936), President (1937) and his crowning glory Vidyapathi
(1937) where he played the King Shiva Singha whose wife falls in love with
the poet Vidyapathi.
His one of the best known hindi film was Pagal in 1940 with Ranjit, he
plays a pshychic doctor's role.
His memorable film was Sikander in 1941 with Sohrab Modi where he plays
the role of "Alexender the Great". Its dramatic, declamatory dialogues gave both
Prithviraj Kapoor and Sohrab
Modi free reign to their histrionic proclivities. Prithviraj made a handsome,
dashing Sikander and the film heightened his enduring reputation for playing
royalty, enhanced further by his role as Akbar in Mughal-e-Azam
(1960). |
