Actor

I don't believe in legacy. I feel that the 'mega' tag definitely acts as a platform, but after that, it's all on the individual. Legacy does not mean a crown that is passed on; we have to create our own paths.

Becoming a father is the natural progression and the next stage after marriage. So the thought of becoming a father is itself an incredible feeling!

If the film is a hit, people talk about the hard work, but if it fails, they may not notice, but I give my best for all films.

The character in 'Arya' was so close to my real life persona. The director saw me once and felt I was the right guy for the role because my body language was so flamboyant. In real life, too, I am very peppy and full of life.

I want to do more films because if you do a lot of films, you become a better actor.

I am not an actor who enjoys negative comments on other heroes.

Everything changes with time. I am not so experienced enough to analyze what the people love in me.

I'm only competing with myself.

I am happy my films have done well in Kerala.

With each film, I try to outdo my previous films.

He has given me several blockbuster albums in all these years, and DSP is the man behind many of the best songs in my career.

I am very diplomatic when I'm in front of the media or when I am going out for promotions and stuff. But, usually, I'm a very straight forward person.

I want my films to offer wholesome entertainment and not be my personal showreels.

I want to be remembered as a star.

The Kerala market may be small, but the reach is very wide. I am told Malayalis in Russia and Paris, too, watch my films, and that's something!

I always say this, but I'm saying this again. Do not encourage piracy.

People will watch your film only if it's good. Another star's flop won't make your film a hit. So my race is with myself.

You can't expect critics to appreciate all kinds of cinema.

I want to thank the audience of both the Telugu speaking states for standing by me throughout my journey.

I can handle rumors about me. But I don't like things being written about my wife and my family. They don't need to pay a price for me being a star.
