Take me to any other film industry, and they will be wondering why Telugu audiences love me so much.

'KAY' is the kind of film you can watch with your family and enjoy for 2.5 hours.

It's a happy thing if a film does good business.

After the release of 'Ashta Chemm,' several producers and directors came with similar roles in their films. But I doesn't want to do stereo type roles and do something different for each film, and refused them.

I do films that amuse me and I can enjoy watching.

My personal opinion is that an actor shouldn't bother himself about expanding his market. He or she should just do good films.

A director is a director. We shouldn't categorize one into a this or that director.

Since I am an outsider, I never knew how it feels to have a superstar in one's family.

It was a wonderful experience working with Nagarjuna sir. I mean, I never expected this to happen. For me, who watched his films standing in a queue at theatres, and now sharing the screen with him is a huge thing.

Script wise, the story of 'Eega' is universal. It's a simple story which everyone can understand.

When the characters are believable and endearing, action scenes, for example, make an impact. Otherwise, the audience gets no kick out of action. The biggest strength of 'MCA' is that its characters are real.

All these years, when someone praised my work, I would feel lucky.

B.A. Raju garu is very knowledgeable when it comes to cinema. He has sound analysis.

I and Dil Raju guru have always wanted to work with each other. He had sent to me stories, 4-5 over the years, but somehow, something was not perfect with them. But when I listened to 'Nenu Local,' I felt the time had arrived.

I did get to work as a technician with Bapu in 'Radha Gopalam.'

I'd rather fail doing what I believe in and feel satisfied that I tried.

With the success of 'Yevade Subramanyam' and 'Bhale Magadivoy,' the audience's faith in me has increased, which is a good sign.

A real blockbuster is one where everyone, from a small technician to a distributor, gets profits. The true success of a film is when every person involved is happy.

It's not sinking in, as I still believe I am a kid! And now I am going to have a kid. I'm slowly digesting it.

Even when I was doing three films a year, I would somehow find two weeks to spend time with my family apart from the regular weekend breaks. But 'Bigg Boss' took up more time than I had expected. On top of it, I also had to shoot for 'Devadas.'

Anjana knew me inside out even before we got hitched, and now married life is blissful. We are very happy.

There was a notion that I could do only niche films like 'Yevade Subramanyam' or 'Krishna Gaadi'... I wanted to break that and draw in a larger audience so that next time I do a so-called niche film, more people might come out to watch it.

My career wasn't planned, never had any targets. I just go by my instincts, and I think I am doing good work.

I have not seen the Hindi version or the first season of 'Big Boss Telugu.' I will bring my own style to the show, using my understanding of how the format works.
