While I can't speak Telugu, I do understand the language.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I did my first film, I did not understand or speak Telugu.
My mother is a Telugu, so I have been familiar with the language since childhood.
I have an impeccable memory, and I can learn dialogues in any language in 20 minutes, including Telugu and Malayalam.
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 can speak a little bit of Hindi but understand every word.
Telugu audiences love cinema. They won't let a good film down, and they've proved this with the way they accepted 'Srimanthudu.'
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.
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.
True, I was born and raised in Chennai, fluent in Tamil, but essentially, I am a Telugu guy and a Telugu actor.
