I’m now looking to shed the ‘chocolate boy’ tag: Pruthvi Ambaar

Actor Pruthvi Ambaar, who began his career portraying ‘chocolate-boy roles’, says he is now looking to shed that image and make a mark as an action hero. “Every actor wants to connect with the audience, and the best way to do that is with a commercial entertainer packed with action and strong content,” says the actor, who is known for his romantic roles in films such as Dia, Doordarshana, and his most recent film, For Regn.

“Action films have always held a special place in my heart, and my childhood training in martial arts fuelled that passion. While I didn’t get those roles initially, I’m now actively working on my physique and honing my dance skills to fully embody the action hero persona,” says the actor, and adds that his next project Chowkidar, which sees him team up with director Chandrashekhar Bandiyappa, has him excited as it offers a “chance to showcase a different side of (his) acting range”.
‘I want my films to linger in the minds of audiences’The actor shares, “For me, films are more than entertainment. I want them to spark conversations, linger in the minds of audiences, and perhaps even evoke emotions. I believe powerful performances and enriching content are key to achieving just that.”
