If you have a happy home, everything is sorted, I guess.
-
I try to make my fans happy by working hard in every film of mine, and I give my films everything I've got.
-
When I started as a child actor, my father didn't tell me anything.
-
I work out every day - and my daily routine is a mix of functional and strength training.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Fortunately or not, expectations are always high for all my films.
-
I really don't know the secret to it, but I'd like to think my desirability is a combination of my personality, my image, and, most importantly, the kind of films I do.
-
I'm not a party person.
-
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. He used to call me and enquire about my film's progress. Whenever I deliver a hit, I can see a glow on my father's face.
-
To be honest, I have never thought about getting into direction.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Who cares and remembers if my last film was a success? I need to work harder.
-
I love holidaying with the kids after working hard, it is amazing.
-
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.
-
My father is an amazing person.
-
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.
-
Telugu audiences love cinema. They won't let a good film down, and they've proved this with the way they accepted 'Srimanthudu.'
-
In fitness, there are no short cuts. It involves immense discipline and hard work.
-
It's healthy to have two or three weeks' gap between big releases.
-
If the home is good, all will be good.
