The “Empuraane” Phenomenon
Alankrita Prithviraj lent her innocent voice to the “Empuraane” title track after Mohanlal’s film hit theaters on March 27, 2025. While Anand Sreeraj’s heavy metal vocals impressed audiences, the child’s voice truly captured hearts.
Music director Deepak Dev revealed Prithviraj suggested a child’s voice for emotional authenticity. “There’s someone of the same age at my home,” he said. Remarkably, she completed the recording in five minutes. Deepak praised, “She is her father’s daughter.”
The Adorable Payment Demand
After finishing her recording, Alankrita Prithviraj asked music director Deepak Dev, “How much will you pay me?” When he joked he never paid her father, she insisted, “No, no, I will need money.” Instead of cash, Deepak gave her Harry Potter toys and flowers—knowing she loved J.K. Rowling’s world. The “starry-eyed” reaction and confident personality went viral online.
Family Background
Born to Prithviraj Sukumaran and journalist Supriya Menon, Alankrita Prithviraj carries her mother’s surname first. Prithviraj wanted this to honor his wife, emphasizing “Menon” is “just a name” without caste significance. He calls his daughter his “forever sunshine” and “greatest blockbuster.”
Recording Process
The recording took place via Zoom with Alankrita in Mumbai. Prithviraj playfully introduced Deepak as “my enemy” to his daughter. Cousin Prarthana (Indrajith’s daughter) also sang the theme song with Prithviraj’s self-penned lyrics.
