My mother is a Telugu, so I have been familiar with the language since childhood.

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.

While I can't speak Telugu, I do understand the language.

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 have lot of respect of filmmakers who work in Telugu and Tamil.

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

Hindi is my mother tongue. Even though I do not get to use it as often, it's still a part of me.

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

Bollywood is very structured and organised, but Kollywood and Tollywood can be quite spontaneous, and I enjoy that.
