After I met Ajay Bhuyan, we thought of making the English TV show 'Prison Break' as a Telugu film. Ajay put it all down, but somehow, we felt it would not work. Then 'Dhada' emerged.
When 'Ye Maaya Chesaave' released, there were no expectations. With '100% Love,' I felt, 'Oh my God, it has to work.'
Action movies haven't been encouraging in my case. Nevertheless, this is my favourite genre.
No matter what kind of film audiences pay money to watch, they definitely expect to be entertained. They want to forget the outside world and have a good laugh while watching a movie.
I'm not very particular about the commercial angle in my films, but entertainment is very important.
I wasn't very good at studies but was into a lot of extra-curricular activities. I used to play the keyboard and bass guitar in my school band and went on to study keyboard from Trinity College, London.
I love fresh ideas and want to do films which offer something new.
I have been able to balance work and my personal life, and with the presence of a partner, I am stronger and better prepared to face the ups and downs.
