If you do something mechanically for years to come, you tend to think that is life, but put yourself in a totally bizarre location, and you tend to discover so many aspects of yourself and life in general.

People say I pick good films. Rather, good filmmakers choose me. The directors come to me, and I thank them for their trust in me.

'Jolly LLB' is one of my favorite movies. Courtroom films are rare to come by in Telugu.

I got a lot of exposure because of 'Eega,' as the film was released in Tamil, Hindi, and Malayalam.

When people are successful, they usually become lazy.

I feel bad to keep someone hanging. So if I'm not inclined to do a film, I am forthright about my decision.

The title 'Vaisakham' sounds so good because it's a pure Telugu title. When I watched the trailer, it became clear to me that it's a pucca commercial movie.

When I entered the industry, I wanted to work with good directors like Mani Ratnam and Gautam Menon; that's why I did Tamil films. I realised later that I was not adding anything to the Tamil scripts and that it was a waste of time for me.

Keerthy Suresh knows how to improvise and reworks her expression on the spot.

Nobody has tried anything like this in Telugu cinema. 'Eega' is a landmark film.

Whenever I bump into Rajamouli sir, I jokingly ask him about 'Eega 2.' As a fan of 'Eega,' I want the sequel.

When films fail, we definitely feel bad because, as a team, we put in so much effort.

'Bigg Boss' is the biggest show in the world, and I'm sure anyone would want to host it, but not me.

Gossips are fine if they are within limits. But they shouldn't be obnoxious.

I used to play cricket every day till Class X but lost touch with it ever since.

My journey with Krishna Vamsi had started with revenge and ended with love. When I went to Krishna Vamsi's office to work as an assistant director, I was sent out. Then I had thought they might one day need me.

Usually, I don't revisit a scene once shot. However, in 'Gentleman,' every morning on the sets, I had to revisit the last four scenes and then shoot for the next set of scenes.

I'm glad that so many directors are keen to work with me.

When I truly like a film or my part, it shows on screen.

I respect Srikanth garu, I worked as an assistant director for his film 'Radha Gopalam.'

I believe the audience likes to see well-defined characters on screen than just larger-than-life heroes.

Even in the wildest of my dreams, I didn't expect this love and affection as an actor.

There are two categories of actresses: performance-oriented ones and glamourous ones.

I miss a lot of things; that's the price one pays for stardom. I miss standing in queues, buying tickets, and watching films first day first show. It isn't the same going to preview theatres or multiplexes and trying to stay incognito.
