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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Since childhood, I've never been a morning person. I need something exciting, out of my comfort zone, to get out of bed.

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

I thought I could handle 'Nenu Local' well and make the romance seem cute than annoying, and going by some of the feedback, I think I managed it.

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

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

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

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

I wish that I will get to work with Gopi Sundar again and again.

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

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

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

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

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

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