I loved 'A Wednesday'; it is one of my top favourite films of all time.
I made a decent debut in Bollywood with 'Dum Maaro Dum.'
'Naa Ishtam' is my first commercial Telugu film. That was exciting.
I have grown up reading Marvel Comics and Marvel movies with their intricately woven storylines. It is fascinating to see how Marvel has created characters and stories that resonate so well with audiences across the globe, making movies at a scale that one had never before imagined.
We see many posters and standees at cinema halls, and some catch attention. But these posters are soon forgotten. Taking a picture with the actors, enabled by AR, helps record a memory.
It's awesome that we can make more and more movies that are crossing boundaries.
Over time, I decided to take up only those stories I love.
I didn't set out to be a regular hero.
Give me something new, and I'll do it with all my heart.
Not all stories are meant for the big screen.
Every story has a place where it deserves to be told.
I want to do films that are genre-based and character-based.
I want to be part of movies which set benchmarks for a new kind of cinema.
Getting out of a character is emotionally taxing. You get used to being a person on camera, and when you move on, the character remains with you for a long time.
'Baahubali' has done to Indian cinema what 'Star Wars' has done to America.
'Baahubali' was really the film that broke most barriers of what regional cinema can do nationally.
I have grown up watching franchise-based movies like 'Star Wars' and read 'Amar Chitra Katha' and had aspired to do cinema like that.
I started doing visual effects for many years, and after that, I became an actor.
I have been in the industry for about 15 years, and every day has been a learning experience, thanks to changing trends and technology.
Should I tell you one thing, I am blind from my right eye. I see only from my left eye. The one you see is someone else's eye which was donated to me after his death. If I close my left eye, I can see no one.
