I met lot of fighter pilots and heard their breathtaking experiences. They risk their lives for our well being. Not many understand the risks involved.
My dad was very busy with his films, and I got the opportunity to mingle with him only when I was in 10th standard. More than anna Suriya, my sister and I used to discuss many things with him. But he never, ever advised me, instead will only share his life experiences.
After I did my graduation in mechanical engineering, I got a scholarship to go to the U.S. to do my master's. So I did that. I also worked there for a while. After my master's, I did a course in Film Appreciation.
In my career, I have learnt how to handle failures in a matured manner.
I'm very selective about my scripts and about how I am projected on the screen.
Everything is new about 'Siruthai.' This is the first time I'm playing a dual role - a thief and a police officer!
So many want me to do another 'Paruthiveeran'; others are fans of my 'Siruthai' avatar. Extreme expectations, but I have to strike a balance.
The theme of 'Bombay' will make you fall in love with it again and again.
'Dev' is a love story but isn't about romance. It is also about loving friends as well as family and loving every moment of life.
We should teach our children about the reality of failure. Instead of buying them iPhones and iPads, we should teach them values and reality.
I've known Radhikaa akka for a long time, and have seen her perform like a pro in front of the camera. But, to work with her and mouth dialogues in her presence had me in jitters.
I was dying to start shooting for 'Paiyya.' I had worn no good clothes for months, and I was dying to wear good clothes. And, for 'Paiyya,' they gave me eight clothes to change in a day!
I must admit, strong films are more interesting to me, as, by the end of the day's shooting, you feel good.
An actor has to do everything, all genres of films.
'Paruthiveeran' was a difficult film to work on. It was my first film but a very strong character.
In Tamil Nadu, watching a film on a festival is a part of our culture. People prefer going to a theatre rather than bursting crackers at home.
I would say 'Siruthai' is a masala film with all the masalas in the right proportion.
I like doing comedy.
Who would want to do a bad film? It's just that not all films work in my favour, and I'm fine with it.
I've played heavy characters in my first two films.
