I like movies made by Spike Lee - doing those films out of the U.S., that is really daring.

I often see only my mistakes. I always feel I could have done better. Every artist goes through it.

I wasn't really sure about the kind of films I wanted to be a part of. That's when I saw 'Aaranya Kaandam.' I was stunned; it was such a stylish film.

I thoroughly enjoyed shooting for 'Velaikkaran,' and I made a great friend in Sivakarthikeyan during the process. Also, it was wonderful working with director Mohan Raja. I have not seen a director who takes so much effort to get things the best way possible.

Working with Thiagarajan Kumararaja in 'Super Deluxe' was absolutely mind-blowing.

My father hasn't backed me in any way, and I don't think anybody has backed me.

All I want to do is to make movies that are appealing to people.

If I had my way, I want to do 15 films in a year, but I have realised I cannot physically do that.

I try to choose characters that don't remind the audience of my previous roles. I make a conscious effort for that.

Most of the films that I do help me learn something.

I love the forest. It is the place where you hear yourself better.

I listened to the script of 'Carbon' at the end of 2014. I liked it the moment I heard it. I wanted to do it.

In Malayalam, I can improvise, and acting is easy because I think in Malayalam, but for 'Velaikkaran,' I had to prepare for a role, which is a first for me.

I will continue to do films that excite me.

I don't expect to win awards while working in films.

I want my films to make money first. Awards and all can come later.

When I began acting, my biggest fear was whether the audience will appreciate the kind of films I do.

When I choose the scripts, all I look forward to is an impressive narration.

I would like to look funny on screen, doing comedy.

I would like to do movies of all genres.

I want to entertain viewers as much as possible.

I think everything is temporary.

The only thing my famous last name got me was a foothold in the industry. That was the easy part. The biggest problem is survival. As Fazil's son, I am expected to know everything - acting, dancing, horse riding... I am not trained in all these, and I don't think I ever will be.

I know it's a big gamble, but I want to do good films.
