I knew my limitations even when I was a music director.
My style of cinema is different and I always look at my films as the audience would.
I'm an emotional person. I chose films based on emotions.
With the advanced editing technologies, it's not difficult to play double roles these days. It can be done easily.
I like to produce my own movies.
New directors are safe. They tell you the full story and since they are new, they try to put their heart and soul into the project.
Right from my first film, I've introduced several singers and lyricists to the industry.
It's not that easy, but the moment the camera is switched on, I have to mould myself to breathe life into the characters I portray.
I'm a technician whose efforts go into hiding my limitations as an actor.
I can't shout, I can't cry convincingly, and please don't make me dance.
Many directors are approaching me with good scripts. I will concentrate on production and music.
On days when I wrap up my shooting by around 5 P. M., I binge on medu vada, bajji, bonda in streetside stalls on the way back home.
I am wary of unknown street food, available in plenty in places such as Singapore and Malaysia.
Intelligent decisions may fail you but one's instincts cannot.
Naan' performed admirably, and the people have since associated me with that character. I am in no hurry to change that image.
Don't call me a hero. I would prefer myself being called as an actor.
Since 'Naan' happens to be my production, I've decided to use this as a platform to help new talents.
I would love to work on a film which would be close to Hollywood standards.
I was always toying with the idea of acting.
Music is always with me and I don't need a special space for it.
Acting is just another facet and it will not affect my output as a music director.
I felt very happy when people mentioned that I had done a good job in my debut flick.
My characters in each of my films bear no resemblance to each other.
If there's a scene in which I need to cry or emote heavily, I just take care of it during the dubbing sessions.
I don't know acting, but I choose good stories and portray emotions according to the story.
