As long as I am acting, I will do only Telugu films. I want to take Telugu films to the world. Everyone should talk about our films.
It's better to do a film that works.
Yes, 'Aagadu' was a failure. I was dejected for a couple of months, since there was a lot at stake.
I was 13 - 14 when I first tasted stardom. In the summer holidays, my dad made me act in these films that went on to become superhits. I became a child star.
Everyone should change; otherwise, you can't grow as a person in life.
For a Tamil debut, I wanted to make sure the script is the right one. We are hopeful 'Bramhotsavam' will be that film.
Over the years, I've learnt from co-actors, directors, technicians, and even from junior artists.
No good actor ever stops learning. He is constantly evolving.
I'm a big fan of my father.
I grew up in Madras and did my schooling at St. Bedes and college at Loyola.
I'm not a party person.
I try to work on a film that my audiences would appreciate and enjoy their time in a theatre.
When I am not working, I am home. I love spending time at my house.
You see, at 25, I was very new to my craft. I was raw as an actor; my exposure was limited... No matter what field you are in, experience adds to your personality.
Pressure is there with any release of mine. It's more my own, as I need to surpass my own expectations.
To be honest, I have never thought about getting into direction.
We don't give importance to Page 3 or to appear at all the events. Our focus is on our kids and our home.
I try to make my fans happy by working hard in every film of mine, and I give my films everything I've got.
Whenever I deliver a hit, I can see a glow on my father's face. Sometimes, I think he turns 10 to 15 years younger when I deliver a hit.
A hit film is what we work for as actors, as that goes to show that we have managed to entertain our audiences who shower us with their love and affection throughout the years.
