For a star like me to take a dance show and perform in front of the whole world was not a cake walk.
I have big plans for UP as far as its film policy is concerned.
UP has such beautiful locations and such ease of shooting.
I want to become a serious politician like N T Rama Rao and Vinod Khanna who were from the film industry but joined politics and worked with utmost seriousness.
If I was not serious about politics, I would not have left behind my successful career to become a politician.
Nationalism is a major issue. If the country is safe, my children will be safe and so will be the future generations. We want a safe and strong nation so that no enemy country can stare us down.
Everybody wants the nation to progress and harmony between all communities. This has happened under the leadership of Modi ji and it will go on.
Since 2007 I have been campaigning for the BJP pan-India.
Yogi Adityanath is my Lord Krishna and I am his Arjuna. Under his leadership I will work to develop Gorakhpur as one of the best cities in north India.
I feel good cinema, be it big or small, with small actor or big actor, it always works.
I only fear myself and my competition is with me. I have always been like this.
Bhojpuri cine fans watch good films. They watch Salman Khan's entertainers and can also watch 'Tanu Weds Manu' type of films too.
I can be a versatile actor.
I had started with Bollywood and then I shifted to Bhojpuri films to create my own identity there.
After doing films like 'Mukkabaaz,' I feel I am finally getting films that I deserve.
It is important for me to be comfortable with the people I am working with.
The Bhojpuri industry in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh has made me a star. At the same time, I've also given the Bhojpuri industry a new lease of life. Surely, I need to be respected.
I've been flattered by being called the Amitabh Bachchan of Bhojpuri cinema.
I had a fear of heights but I overcame that while shooting for 'Luck.' I jumped from a height of 2,000 feet for one shot.
You have to join politics to reach out to the masses. As a filmstar I can reach out to 40-50 thousand followers but not 20 lakh people.
