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

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

Tollywood has a special place in my heart because Telugu is my mother tongue, and when I sing in the language, my mom feels really happy.

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

I have an impeccable memory, and I can learn dialogues in any language in 20 minutes, including Telugu and Malayalam.

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

I am most familiar with the Gujarati language.

My Hindi is OK. I think I am better with Tamil. I remember the Tamil words.

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

I grew up speaking both languages, and for me that's really important.
