I loved Suriya's performance in 'Vaaranam Aayiram'; his expressions in the movie, especially the train sequences, were really fresh.

I took home the pattapatti underwear that I wore in 'Paruthiveeran' for nostalgia's sake.

For me, Surya's 'Varanam Ayiram' is a big inspiration.

There's nothing experimental about 'Kaashmora,' as it's a blend of fantasy and entertainment. The only experiment we did was with my makeover in the film.

I had to go for physical training for 'Aayirathil Oruvan.' I had to do stunts which required huge leaps.

I had to look powerful in 'Paruthi Veeran.'

I just want to be fit because I want to look nice without a shirt.

I always remember what my dad told me when I decided to turn into an actor. He was emphatic that whatever I do, I should get accepted by the audiences who watch my films.

I would say I was not working in the real sense in 'Paiyaa.' After doing very heavy scenes in my first two films, in 'Paiya,' I was romancing a girl, talking all sorts of funny things, and doing all light things just as if I were not acting!
