Talking about how film technicians are celebrated in South cinema, Prithviraj told IANS, “Well, for me, cinema is always a team sport. So, an actor's performance can only be good if his co-actors are equally good. And an actor can only be good in a film; I know now that I am a director saying this is a bit modest, but an actor can only be good in a film if the director lets him be good in a film.”
