There will always be some people who won't like you, and there's nothing one can do about it.

When someone tells me I would be perfect for a certain role, I know that it's within my comfort zone. And there's hardly any fun there.

My biggest fear is that I might end up doing a film which I might regret at a later point of time.

In the real world, most criminals and powerful persons look lean and use only their mind. Only in films we see villains with a six-pack.

If someone comes with an interesting script where the negative role suits me, I will definitely take it up.

When it comes to 'Ala Modalaindi,' I was impressed with the storyline narrated by Nandini, the director of the film.

I never saw myself as an actor. I neither had the looks nor the backing required to be an actor.

I'd dream of assisting Gautham Menon after watching 'Kaakha Kaakha.'

If you don't like a film or do a film out of obligation in a comfortable zone, it would be very painful, but when you do something with passion, interest, and belief in it, it excites you.

Usually, I get the jitters before a release, and my whole system crashes. I can barely eat or sleep.

I usually don't let any kind of pressure bother me.

Trash my acting and my films. But don't gossip about my personal life.

Sometimes, you have to take a stand; you cannot make everyone happy.

I always think of myself as an audience first. If I like something, my assumption is that others, too, will like it.

I usually surface on social media only when there's a film.

Since I still think of myself as a middle class guy, people get to see that side of me in films like 'Middle Class Abbayi.'

I don't consider myself an image-driven actor. I believe audiences come to watch my films because they are entertaining and not because of my image.

I still belong to a middle class family; middle class is a mindset than your financial status.

Acting is my world. Acting is my life.

I am not in a position to play in action films bashing hundreds of goons with one hand. I feel I am not really fit for high-voltage action films.

With one film after another becoming a hit, nervousness only grows.

I personally like melodies. And Mani Sharma garu is the Melody Brahma.

I was a huge Kamal Haasan fan, but not really a die-hard wackadoo.

I love Krishna Vamsi very much as a director, and after working with him, I also started to like him personally.
