I don't have any dream role. I give my 100% to every character I play, and when the film clicks, it automatically becomes a dream role.
-
I work out every day - and my daily routine is a mix of functional and strength training.
-
My father is an amazing person.
-
I like to reinvent with each project, in any which way possible.
-
I don't go out of the way to take special care of myself.
-
For a Tamil debut, I wanted to make sure the script is the right one. We are hopeful 'Bramhotsavam' will be that film.
-
Over the years, I have worked very hard to achieve what I have so far. But I've not been alone in this journey. A lot of the credit for this goes to my fans - it's because of them that I'm here today.
-
My father is my inspiration.
-
I was 13 - 14 when I first tasted stardom. In the summer holidays, my dad made me act in these films that went on to become superhits. I became a child star.
-
My son Gautham usually doesn't watch my films. But he watched 'Srimanthudu' in the theatre.
-
In modern life, we tend to forget family values because of the hectic schedule.
-
I believe children's blessings are very powerful.
-
When people say they take hits and flops in their stride, I personally feel that they are just lying. Of course, I'm upset when my movies flop. I take it very personally.
-
You see, at 25, I was very new to my craft. I was raw as an actor; my exposure was limited... No matter what field you are in, experience adds to your personality.
-
I like to tread uncharted territory and push myself in terms of performance.
-
'Srimanthudu' is a film very close to my heart. It's my first production, and I'm more than happy with its performance at the box office.
-
'Bramhotsavam' is a celebration of families, life and togetherness. It's a film I hold close to my heart.
-
Stress and looks are directly connected as far as I am concerned. If you are happy, you look good.
-
My father usually does not talk to me about my films, and it was a pleasant moment when he appreciated me the first time.
-
As long as I am acting, I will do only Telugu films. I want to take Telugu films to the world. Everyone should talk about our films.
-
I try to do as much as I can, but I simply can't shoot two films at a time.
-
Everyone should change; otherwise, you can't grow as a person in life.
-
Whatever my father did were great films. I don't want to remake any of them.
-
When I work on a movie, I never aim for records, collections or the number one position. I always concentrate on my work and look for ways to improve my acting abilities. I also advise my co-stars not to concentrate on these pretty issues and just focus on acting.
