I want to do Indian films based on scripts with a universal appeal.
I like spending time with my family and friends on my birthday.
In Hollywood, the guy who plays Batman and Spiderman also plays normal characters. The biggest stars in the world want to play different characters. We can't give the excuse that because an actor played a superhero in his previous film, his next one won't work.
I was too shy to be in films. But, my father thought it would work for me. It took a lot of time for me to think about getting into films.
I feel dull when I am unable to see my mother for long. So, when I am in Hyderabad, I spend time with her.
I think the fact that Rajamouli sir wrote the character of 'Baahubali' for me has been the biggest compliment in itself.
I've never thought about doing international films. But if I get something exciting, I might take it up. Everything depends on what comes my way.
I have seen 'Munnabhai MBBS' and '3 Idiots' around 20 times.
The idea of working in films came after I passed class ten. I was planning to set up a restaurant and manage a business.
It's an honour for the entire 'Baahubali' team to be associated with Karan Johar, since he is the biggest name in the country as a producer and director with his brand Dharma Productions.
We made 'Baahubali' with pure intentions. It taught us that we might be remembered for the rest of our lives if we do something with good intentions in our hearts.
No star is bigger than the success of a film.
I am really happy to have been selected by Madame Tussauds.
'Baahubali' is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I may act in many more films in the future, but 'Baahubali' will be the best in my career.
I consider Rajamouli my guru. He is a friend with whom I can discuss all my professional and personal matters.
I will die trying to do another 'Baahubali' kind of film. It's not a film that can be easily replicated. I believe only Rajamouli has the experience and vision to handle projects on such scale.
When audiences start calling you by your character's names, your job is done!
It is such a treat to see two of my most favourite creative people in one frame - Rajamouli sir and Amitabh sir. They are so inspiring.
I would be stupid to say no to Bollywood. It is the biggest film industry in our country.
