"I just want to be fit because I want to look nice without a shirt." — Karthi

It's very important to play a police role convincingly. It ups you in your career. Even 'Siruthai,' in which I played a cop in one of the roles, was a gamechanger.

I was dying to start shooting for 'Paiyya.' I had worn no good clothes for months, and I was dying to wear good clothes. And, for 'Paiyya,' they gave me eight clothes to change in a day!

Many of the characters I play are talkative - 'Oopiri' for instance - so the dubbing process gets longer.

There's nothing experimental about 'Kaashmora,' as it's a blend of fantasy and entertainment. The only experiment we did was with my makeover in the film.

My fans are indulging in social welfare activities from time to time and have also been helping economically backward students.

Regardless of what film you make, you want people to watch your film, and you ultimately need commercial success.

Bollywood? Me? No way.

After I did my graduation in mechanical engineering, I got a scholarship to go to the U.S. to do my master's. So I did that. I also worked there for a while. After my master's, I did a course in Film Appreciation.
