Prithviraj
recently
made
his
directorial
debut
with
Mohanlal
starrer
Lucifer,
which
became
a
blockbuster,
earning
him
a
lot
of
appreciations.
Regarding
Lucifer,
Prithviraj
told
The
Hindu,
"I
am
happy
with
how
Lucifer
fared
at
the
box
office.
We
had
a
set
of
parameters
within
which
we
had
to
work.
Everything
about
Lucifer
was
focused
on
taking
it
to
the
masses.
The
numbers
that
the
movie
raked
in
at
the
box
office
makes
it
evident
that
we
succeeded
in
our
endeavour".
In
a
recent
event,
Prithviraj
revealed
that
he
once
got
an
offer
to
direct
Superstar
Rajinikanth,
but
circumstances
at
that
point
of
time
made
him
to
turn
down
the
offer.
The
Mozhi
actor
said
that
he
was
offered
to
direct
the
Superstar
right
after
his
release
of
Lucifer.
Prithviraj
was
busy
shooting
for
Aadujeevitham
back
then,
in
which
he
played
the
male
lead.
He
therefore
refused
the
massive
deal
to
direct
Rajini.
Prithvi
said
that
he
had
written
a
lengthy
apology
letter
to
Rajinikanth
for
refusing
the
deal.
"Soon
after
Lucifer
released,
I
got
an
offer
to
direct
Rajinikanth
sir's
next
film.
Unfortunately,
I
couldn't
take
it
up.
I
don't
think
I
have
typed
a
longer
sorry
note
to
anyone
in
my
life," said
Prithviraj.
Rajinikanth
is
currently
awaiting
