Gautham was a premature baby. I remember when doctors said that his health condition was critical, I was tense. I could afford the treatment, but a lot of commoners can't. I believe more children's lives can be saved if we work towards it.
-
I'm extremely particular how my look should be in a film.
-
Emotions should be real; one shouldn't come across as acting.
-
If you have a happy home, everything is sorted, I guess.
-
I don't want to smoke on screen, as I will be sending a wrong message to my fans, and I appeal to my costars too, to avoid smoking scenes if possible.
-
People used to say I'm weak in comedy. But, with 'Mahesh Khaelja' and 'Dookudu,' I have proved that I am good at comedy.
-
I'm very thankful to all my fans for their constant love and support. I am what I am because of their unconditional love.
-
When I started as a child actor, my father didn't tell me anything.
-
I'm not a party person.
-
In fitness, there are no short cuts. It involves immense discipline and hard work.
-
Once I finish shooting, I head straight home and spend time with my family. It's only when I have to promote my films that I make public appearances.
-
The only thing I have learnt over the years is that if you enjoy your work and put in the best efforts, it will show. If you follow this process, things work out. But if you go chasing a formula, success will elude you.

When my film flops, I believe it is my mistake. There have been times when I didn't come out of my house because my films didn't do well. I lock myself in for months. I don't talk to people. I feel bad for producer, director, for those who lost money. It's never about myself or my career alone.
-
I love holidaying with the kids after working hard, it is amazing.
-
First and foremost, I look for a great script. Then, the team that I am working with. Only then, we will be able to come up with a good film.
-
To be honest, I have never thought about getting into direction.
-
Telugu audiences love cinema. They won't let a good film down, and they've proved this with the way they accepted 'Srimanthudu.'
-
I am very close to my brother Ramesh Babu. When my father was away for shootings, my brother would take care of me, and I am very close to him, and yes, Dad's always special.
-
My father is an amazing person. While he was a huge star, he never carried his stardom home and always remained simple and just our father at home. I have four siblings, and we were all very grounded. We lived a very simple life: would go in an auto rickshaw to school, played with normal boys.
-
Fortunately or not, expectations are always high for all my films.
-
I'm very happy to co-produce a film like 'Srimanthudu.'
-
Who cares and remembers if my last film was a success? I need to work harder.
-
I struggled to kick the habit - I would make a decision to give up smoking, but it was hard. I couldn't resist the urge to steal a smoke. It was at that time that I was gifted Allen Carr's book 'The Easy Way to Stop Smoking.' After I read that book, I didn't touch a fag again.
