When I was about 18 or 19, I told my father that I want to be an actor, and he was shocked.
Audiences remember you because of your work, so I believe in working hard through my films.
I love Rajkumar Hirani's films. I saw 'PK,' and I didn't like it much... But I loved his previous three films.
Los Angeles is great for partying and also for its sights and sounds.
I would even commit seven years to a film for Rajamouli.
Even when I'm on set, I'm always among friends.
First, the media blames us stars for not doing more films. But when we are shooting, you want us to take a break. Not fair!
I made a good association with Karan Johar. If I want anything, I think I can ask him. He has helped us a lot.
I am still shy when I go to interviews.
Once the shooting starts, we don't mind whether it is 43 degrees plus or minus 6 degrees: we just keep working.
I have no political aspiration.
I will do films in any of the languages, provided the script is good. The region and the language don't matter.
I truly believe Abu Dhabi is one of the world's best film locations, and I can't wait to come back.
I want my films to be entertaining: not comedy, but something which is gripping.
I am definitely interested in doing films in Bollywood. And not only in Hindi - I am open to working anywhere in the country, even if it is Punjabi.
'Baahubali' has definitely increased hopes for a lot of regional filmmakers. After all, what I have learnt is that it only takes one 'Baahubali' to enter into the audience's hearts and cross the boundaries.
I watch a lot of Hindi films. I live in Hyderabad, where 60 per cent of the people speak Hindi.
Kenny Bates is a legend.
'Baahubali' gave me something that's really huge.
Given my family background, whenever, as a child, I was asked about becoming an actor, I used to answer in the negative.
