Actor

Melvilasam' broke a short, silent phase in my career.

I don't believe there is a need for a first among equals when it comes to the industry's top actors.

Look at the plight of a devotee. One cannot even use the name of his favourite God. What sort of democracy is this?

My father died. No one from this industry came to offer condolences to my house. No one offered few words to console me. Why should I continue in this cruel film world? I am discontinuing my acting career.

I am what I am only because of films.

I am a person with no desperation and I live on hope, but the difference is that I do not compromise on hope.

All of us make mistakes and one learns from the bitter lessons of the past.

Even I feel I am an ambassador for the Indian police. Even if someone doesn't want to give me that credit, I want to have it for myself.

But what we have is not democracy; it is demonocracy! We are ruled by demons.

Why should there be a different set of laws for criminals who are juveniles? As far as I am concerned there should be no reason for any leniency.

I feel nationalism is the basic essence of my statements or revolts.

I know that keeping aloof is not a wise thing but since I have nothing to prove, please don't depict me as an escapist.

I have a very clear, genuine vision about what political work should be, what politics and politicians should contribute to the nation.

As a great devotee, I consider a Brahmin who wears the sacred thread as God.

For me, acting as Raja Ravi Varma, a legend, is not just exciting but very challenging.

Modi invite me for his swearing in ceremony and I did attend it.

I have found a perfect balance between work and social activities and I intend to give both my best.

I wish other films were shot like 'Melvilasom.'

I feel that a doctor should have the vision of a leader.

I admire Mammootty as an actor and I have no issues sharing the screen with him.
