There are so many actors whom I can be paired with... like Hrithik Roshan, but there hasn't been an opportunity. Abhishek and I looked good together in 'Sarkar.' And of course, there's Shah Rukh Khan, but I haven't been offered a film with him yet. I hope to work with them in the future; it's just a matter of time.

I'm very happy to co-produce a film like 'Srimanthudu.'

I want to be part of great cinema. That is my only aim.

If I want to, I can sign 20 films for ridiculous amounts of money, but I really want to do different kinds of cinema. I want creative satisfaction.

I haven't signed as many films as I'd like to because there are no good roles, as disheartening as it is to say.

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.

Use people whom you're excited by and who share your excitement... The ideal collaboration is one in which the actor and director are saying to each other, 'I can't believe how lucky we are to be making a movie together.'

I really want to work with Hugh Jackman and also Steven Spielberg.

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.

Given a chance, I would love to romance Tabu. I wouldn't mind doing a film with Manisha Koirala, either. Or Madhuri Dixit.
