I wanted to send a message to the television industry that excitement is not made of car chases.
I worked for Sam Peckinpah on quite a bit of action in his films, and he got excited once in a while.
I'd like to do an action film, a full-on comedy film, family dramas and a soulful romantic film.
Hollywood is throwing action movies at me.
The 'Bourne' films totally reimagined and elevated the action genre.
Since very early in my career, I have always did my own stunt fighting.
I love doing all of my own stunts. Anything. Even if they are telling me, 'No, no, no! You can't do that!' I'll do it. Like crashing my car through the gate, climbing up the building, kicking in a window... I love doing all of that stuff.
Stunts have to be meticulously arranged. Choreographed. You could take a fight scene and set it to music.
I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
The fight scenes are pretty easy and come pretty naturally for me, to be honest.
'Immortals' is all action. I love action movies. That's really where I want to spearhead my career.
I hurt myself doing a fight scene with some dwarves.
The most difficult part of portraying 'Darna' would probably be the timing when you do stunts. You have to look strong but you can't be too strong because you don't want to hurt the person you are doing the scene with.
I want to be able to do more of my own stunts and really be proficient with my weapons.
I'm a physical type of actor and love projects in which I can get physical. The more action, the better.
There is a quite a lot of effort involved but I find action sequences some of the quickest to write and the most fun.
I'm fairly comfortable in fight sequences and stuff like that. I've done a few of them. I'm comfortable with that sort of stuff as long as I'm reasonably fit, and it's fun to do actually. I'm like a kid in a toy shop doing that stuff.
I think there's certain things that I know in my head that I enjoy: action movies.
In Telugu filmdom, audiences like to see their hero dance, fight and play a larger-than-life character. It's precisely why most of our commercial films do extremely well and get remade too.
Because of 'Terminator 2,' you get not pigeonholed but circled as one of those guys who can understand their way through a movie like that and hold it down.
The rig work can be rewarding to pull off, a really good rig in a set of wires where you're throwing yourself up walls and doing moves mid-air. That's just fun.
I am incapable of directing a film like 'Agneenath.' I can do only what I am good at, so I would have been the worst choice to direct it. It has aggression, action and an inherent violence in it - things I am not capable of directing in my films.
The fight scenes in 'The World's End' have a certain balletic quality to them.
I really loved 'Fast Five.' I thought it was a brilliant movie. I thought it was so well done, well directed. The action sequences were really well thought out. It looked fantastic.
I don't look at rushes, or I don't go to the dailies. I don't even really look at playback... unless it's an action scene or a move that I need to do better, something like that.
