We were five kids at home, and my mother and grandmother ensured that we all had a very grounded upbringing in Madras. Even in school, I never used to tell anyone that my dad was an actor.

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 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 love holidaying with the kids after working hard, it is amazing.
-
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.
-
To be honest, I have never thought about getting into direction.
-
Since my father was a superstar, without me knowing it, I became a child star, as my father's entire fan base liked me, and I can't thank my father enough for this, as it was so effortless.
-
Over the years, I've learnt from co-actors, directors, technicians, and even from junior artists.
-
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.

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. 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.
-
I'm under pressure with all my films. And the reason we are always under pressure is because it's only in our profession that months and even years of hard work is judged by the first show on Friday.
-
If the home is good, all will be good.
-
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.

It's healthy to have two or three weeks' gap between big releases.
-
I try to make my fans happy by working hard in every film of mine, and I give my films everything I've got.
-
A lot of things and a lot of money is involved in a movie. It is very upsetting when a movie doesn't fare well at the box-office.
-
I'm very happy to co-produce a film like 'Srimanthudu.'
-
I grew up in Madras and did my schooling at St. Bedes and college at Loyola.
-
On the clothes front, I have a designer who sits with the director for each film to chalk out a look for me based on the script.
-
Who cares and remembers if my last film was a success? I need to work harder.
-
Our entire film fraternity should be proud of 'Baahubali.' These are the kind of films that are not made very often.
-
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.
