We all are Indians, and that should be our only religion. What is the need to be called a Hindu, Muslim, or Christian? Does anybody have any religion or caste at the time of birth?

I cook anything, be it vegetarian or non-vegetarian. But mutton dishes are my favourite.

We should judge by talent and work not by community or caste.

I want to do sensible films.

Oh, it is a boon to have a lineage like mine. Of course there's additional responsibility, and I have to live up to expectations all the time, but that's fine with me.

The Tamil industry has a huge market and already has many talented actors. So, making a mark in Kollywood is not easy. I will have to choose the right script and do it the right way.

Going to a gym or playing a sport should not be mechanical. There should be an emotional attachment to it.

If you like working out in a gym over playing a sport, then you should go ahead and do it. It is about what your mind has a liking towards.

I wish that 'Damarukam' will be a huge hit.

After my marriage, I feel stronger and confident to do anything.

I am happy to be acting with my wife.

Whether between family members or others, there should be a competition. Without that healthy competition, it is impossible to grow as actors.

I love 'Swamy Ra Ra' movie and I wanted to act in Sudheer Varma's direction after watching that film.

My father and my grandfather always watch my films and share their feedback with me. It helps me a lot in my own career.

I am happy that two newcomers are being introduced with 'Vaisakham.' New talent bode well for the industry, as they bring refreshing content.

Our idea to remake the Malayalam 'Premam' was not to make a better film than the original film or correct the mistakes they made or perform better than that hero. The soul of the Malayalam movie was taken and changed a bit to match with the Telugu sensibilities so that our audience can enjoy the movie.

After starting with 'Premam,' asking director Chandoo Mondeti to do a remake was a mistake because he has much more potential and creative ability to direct.

'Savyasachi' has got all the essential elements. This is an all-rounder movie. So many girls have called me up during the making of this movie. Never before did I receive those many calls from girls.

It makes sense for an actor to space out his releases. But filmmaking is unpredictable.

I was class VI or VII when I had a crush on a girl, and I thought this is the girl I'd marry. When you're so young, you are crestfallen when things don't turn out your way and think it's the end of the world.

My father said, 'How many days can I promote your film? You need to get your own recognition and your own identity. I can't be there always. So do it yourself.' So now I work on promotion, and he steps in to help just before the release.

All producers and directors want to make good films.

I always cooperate to complete a film within the budget. Not a single film of mine has overshot its budget.

I don't usually prefer over-the-top action.
