Should I be offered the right kind of script, I will be doing a straight Telugu film.
I have lot of respect of filmmakers who work in Telugu and Tamil.
I have been inspired by world cinema in different ways. But no, 'Raja The Great' is not a copy. It's not based on any film. You will see a lot of Telugu nativity, moreover.
Music has no language. That's something I've come to believe in even more ever since 'Kolaveri Di' happened. I don't deliberately make separate Tamil, Hindi, or Telugu tracks.
It was when I was shooting for a Telugu film in Hyderabad when director Meher Ramesh approached me for 'Veera Kannadiga.' I was game to explore a new language and said yes.
My mother is a Telugu, so I have been familiar with the language since childhood.
Tollywood has a special place in my heart because Telugu is my mother tongue, and when I sing in the language, my mom feels really happy.
While I can't speak Telugu, I do understand the language.
I have sung in all languages, and so every people know me - Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu.
I can understand Tamil and Telugu when a conversation is aimed at me, but I cannot hold a conversation.
