'Srimanthudu' is a film very close to my heart. It's my first production, and I'm more than happy with its performance at the box office.

Telugu audiences love cinema. They won't let a good film down, and they've proved this with the way they accepted 'Srimanthudu.'

Everybody has been saying 'Srimanthudu' is the best film of my career. After watching the film, Dad told me that he's never seen me perform like this. I just couldn't stop myself from crying.

My son Gautham usually doesn't watch my films. But he watched 'Srimanthudu' in the theatre.

My director is usually aware of what works for me and what doesn't. For 'Srimanthudu,' I have to give full credit to director Koratala Sivagaru for handling my character the way he did.

Siva is one of the best writers in the industry, and 'Srimanthudu' is a great script.

'Srimanthudu' was very important for me and my career at that time, so I was tensed. But for 'Brahmotsavam,' honestly speaking, I am more excited because of its content. I have attempted something new, and I am keen to see how the audience receives it.

I feel very proud that we have managed to stay together. In these forty years we have made forty-six films. Each one has brought a certain name and contribution to cinema.

I'm very happy in France making movies.

As long as I am acting, I will do only Telugu films. I want to take Telugu films to the world. Everyone should talk about our films.
