I request the audience to not mix cinema with politics.
I want audiences to see me in different avatars.
'Dhruva' will have them glued to their seats throughout, and I'm sure of that.
The audiences love to see me fight on screen.
Some films shouldn't be remade.
You didn't find comedy in 'Magadheera.' Any film high on emotions doesn't need such elements.
I don't like family stories forcefully mixed with commercial elements.
I don't run after successful directors. I give importance to the content of the film.
Whether I do an original film, a dance, or a remake of my dad's hit songs, I have always been compared to him.
After watching me in a larger-than-life character in 'Magadheera,' the audiences didn't accept me as a college-going boy in 'Orange.'
Accept it or not, every star, actor, and director wants to work on larger-than-life films.
With 'Rachaa' I get back to action. It has very edgy action.
I am a Bruce Lee fan. I may be my fans' hero, but even heroes have their heroes. And mine is Bruce Lee.
Life is one big love story with hundreds of little love stories within it.
One of the recent love stories I enjoyed was Bhaskar's 'Bommarillu.'
The sky takes on shades of orange during sunrise and sunset, the colour that gives you hope that the sun will set only to rise again.
Love stories thrive on hope.
Nobody can be like Mr. Bachchan.
Better a decent remake than a bad original, don't you think?
It is no longer important for me to be seen in every frame.
I know my fans want me on the screen. But I think hero-worship should not be allowed to corrupt the plot and narrative of a film.
I don't think 'Magadheera' should be remade, nor do I think it will be remade. It is very difficult to recreate the same magic.
I was brought up as a normal kid.
I love shopping, but I can't go out. I love going to restaurants and eating out with friends.
I'll be starting two new production houses - Konidela Productions and White Horse Entertainments.
We all know that one can never recreate the magic of an original film.
Young audience, in the age group of 16-33 years, constitutes the main viewership of Bollywood films.
Hindi films offer a wider reach. As an industry, it has the capability to merge varied states, languages, and nationalities.
I have worked with top directors like Rajamouli and Vinayak and with upcoming directors like Vamsi.
I won't do a role which children in my family cannot look up to.
