'Pilla Zamindar' is a fun film. I enjoyed working in it.

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

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

Many Tamil heroes have a good market in Telugu.

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.

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

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.

Everyone has a 'Majnu' in them. It's not about the sad or happy climax. It's a term we use to define someone who falls in love and faces problems.

Sometimes we postpone releases because of another big film or some other reasons. In the end, the big film, too, postpones, and the impact is on the small films. So once you decide on a release date, you have to go ahead with it.

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

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.

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

Acting is my world. Acting is my life.

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

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.

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

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.

When people are successful, they usually become lazy.
