ALLU ARJUN

I guess Malayali women like bubbly, happy-go-lucky guys, and I am all of that. I'm yet to discover how I'm such a hit there. The fans there are difficult to win over.

I want to do more films because if you do a lot of films, you become a better actor.

I would love to explore my options in Tamil as well as Malayalam.

The character in 'Arya' was so close to my real life persona. The director saw me once and felt I was the right guy for the role because my body language was so flamboyant. In real life, too, I am very peppy and full of life.

There are two types of directors: the directors who take and directors who give.

I always consult my father before I take on a project. Not just me - even my brother goes to Dad and speaks to him of his business ideas. Dad has an amazing business acumen, and it would be foolish not to take his advice. Plus, he's our dad at the end of the day, and he would want to see us succeed. He always gives us the best advice.

Becoming a father is the natural progression and the next stage after marriage. So the thought of becoming a father is itself an incredible feeling!

There are lots of things to do. Lots of movies to catch. Lots of places to visit... I try to bring in every real life experience into my acting.

My family believes in a good script and ultimately everything that is attached to it. I am more interested in a hit film than a good film.

I am not against acting in a Hindi film, but I will take it up only if the story is right.

I am really excited at being the face of Hotstar in AP and Telangana because it is a streaming service that I use very often, and the brand is very young and edgy.

I want to be remembered as a star.

I can handle rumors about me. But I don't like things being written about my wife and my family. They don't need to pay a price for me being a star.

I feel I haven't been used to the fullest of my potential. There are so many genres to explore and diverse subjects to work on.

Acting is just a part of my life, and I like to lead life on my terms.

Rao Ramesh always gives his best shot in all his movies.

I'm only competing with myself.

Malayalam industry is pretty awesome, and I will definitely do a movie in Malayalam. There are some great directors over there.

After the release of my first film 'Gangothri,' my father was so happy that he surprised me by buying me a swanky high-end car.

I am grateful that the people of Telangana supported me when I spoke in the Andhra accent, just as much as the people of Andhra embraced my Telangana dialect.

Life changed a lot after marriage. I am not the same person as before.

Everyone seems to be surprised that I've changed post-marriage. But what's so surprising about it? You must change; it's such a big turning point in your life.

I like new challenges.

DSP is not only a music director for many of my films, but he is also a very dear friend.

It's difficult to maintain the six-pack abs. They demand a specific workout and diet plan. Even professional bodybuilders sport six-pack abs on and off.
