I am social media savvy.

I am a huge fan of Shah Rukh Khan sir, so I also know what it feels like to be a fan.

I was with my mother at a mall when our car was suddenly surrounded by people. Initially, she loved seeing her son getting mobbed. Then the crowds started swelling, and they began to push and shove and tilt the car. My mom's joy turned into anxiety.

I am always on the lookout for roles which will help me better myself.

Good scripts, which are apt for me, eventually come to me.

I always celebrate festivals - whether it's Holi or Diwali.

I am always on Instagram, Snapchat, and all other social media platforms... So, I am a very tech-friendly person, and I've grown up playing on my phone.

When you know someone for four-five years, you tend to know everything about the person. You tend to know when the other person is reacting to a certain situation, how the other person would react in a situation.

Nothing tastes like success.

I try to woo the person whom I love. Even a good morning call to start the day is good enough for me.

I have to do films for myself, films that make me learn. I also have to be an entertainer.

There's so much to learn as an actor.

It's very important to play a police role convincingly. It ups you in your career. Even 'Siruthai,' in which I played a cop in one of the roles, was a gamechanger.

Many of the characters I play are talkative - 'Oopiri' for instance - so the dubbing process gets longer.

Writing is not my forte, but I am good at visualising.

I love the process of filmmaking. I understood that you have to be a writer in order to be a director.

If you have to grow, you should face failures.

I don't like six-packs. If you get six-packs in a short time, it will cause health problems.

Bejoy Nambiar had offered me 'Shaitaan' some years ago. But I wasn't confident about my Hindi.

In reality, I am not in competition with any other actor except myself.

For me, working on the sets with Mani Ratnam is so familiar. It is the place where I grew up, so I am not nervous here.

Working on my Pongal release, 'Siruthai,' was a superb experience. I really enjoyed it, as it was a pucca commercial film.

Unless they excite me, I don't sign a movie.

I don't have a set target on the number of films I should do in a year.
