I'm definitely open to doing a Malayalam film.
We have always wanted to give back to cinema, and we couldn't possibly think of a better way to do that than facilitate films which we believe will make Malayalam cinema proud.
I would love to do a Malayalam film if the right script and character comes along.
It is difficult, but I definitely do want to make a film in Malayalam at some point of my life.
My first film was a Malayalam film where I played a small character and then my big debut happened in Kannada, which is also my mother tongue, in 2016, 'U-Turn' and since then my life has taken a different turn altogether.
I watched 'Maheshinte'... in 2016 just once.
For me, talking about the casting couch in the Malayalam film industry was like calling the sky blue. There is nothing new about calling a spade a spade. My intention was not to create an effect; I just wanted to pluck a few weeds in the system and throw them out.
I was waiting for a good project in Malayalam. It is after a long gap that I will be seen in this industry and wanted it to be a good script.
Our idea to remake the Malayalam 'Premam' was not to make a better film than the original film or correct the mistakes they made or perform better than that hero. The soul of the Malayalam movie was taken and changed a bit to match with the Telugu sensibilities so that our audience can enjoy the movie.
I liked 'Maheshinte Prathikaaram' very much.
Bangalore Days' is a complete entertainer that is a completely different a genre from 'Ustad Hotel,' and the songs are just that - entertaining.
