A few days ago, Kajol spoke about Ibrahim Ali Khan and other star kids getting trolled on social media, and now, Prithviraj Sukumaran, in an interview, opened up about his Sarzameen co-actor facing criticism for his performance in Nadaaniyan. The Malayalam star stated, "If Shah Rukh Khan sir can still be criticised, why can't Ibrahim Ali Khan be criticised? Come on."

Prithviraj Sukumaran will next be seen in Sarzameen, which also stars Kajol and Ibrahim Ali Khan in the lead roles. It is Ibrahim's second film after Nadaaniyan, which was released earlier this year on Netflix. For his performance in Nadaaniyan, Ibrahim received negative reviews from the critics as well as the audience. A few days ago, Kajol had spoken up about Ibrahim and other star kids facing trolls on social media, and now, Prithviraj, in an interview, spoke about his co-actor facing criticism.

While talking to India Today about Ibrahim facing criticism for his performance in Nadaaniyan, Prithviraj said, "See, Ibrahim will be wonderful in this film, but that's not going to put an end to anything. Hello, if Shah Rukh Khan sir can still be criticised, why can't Ibrahim Ali Khan be criticised? Come on. From where I come from, Mohanlal sir and Mammootty sir are still criticised. There's nothing bigger than that for us to understand that that's never going to end.”

“You have to just keep trying. I've totally realised that it never gets easier. You think, ‘Oh, that one blockbuster,’ and then it gets easier? No. It does not. It never gets easier. The idea is that you start really enjoying the grind," the actor added.
