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.

I started with Tamil film, then Hindi. Now, I am also doing a Telugu film. The journey has been wonderful so far.

When I did my first film, I did not understand or speak Telugu.

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

I prefer the Telugu film industry, as women are respected more than they are in the Tamil film industry. In Tamil cinema, they care only about their hero, who is God.

I definitely want to work in Hindi films.

True, I was born and raised in Chennai, fluent in Tamil, but essentially, I am a Telugu guy and a Telugu actor.

I knew that all South Indian language films were first made in Chennai and that Tamil Nadu is one of the biggest film-producing centres in the country. I wanted to be part of films here.

I was born and brought up in Chennai, as the entire Telugu film industry was based there.

I love Hindi films.
