I sneaked out of school to watch 'Nayakan.' I must have watched it at least 15 times at Anand theatre.
Bollywood is a different ballgame. I am quite used to Tamil and Telugu films.
I'd love to do more Tamil films; unfortunately, I don't get any substantial roles.
For me, Malayalam films remain the most important. I don't want to do more Tamil films just for the sake of it.
Malaysian Tamil movies are amateurish, with songs picked up from our old Tamil movies and inserted in between.
I would definitely love to do more Tamil films. I feel more connected to the people here. In fact, I call it my own industry.
When K. Balachander saw me for the first time, he booked me for three films and asked me to learn Tamil first.
I am very happy that all my films are getting positive reports in both Telugu and Tamil.
I took up Tamil films because I'm a big fan of Mani Ratnam. I thought maybe he'll notice me if I act in a Tamil film.
I've done a host of Tamil and Telugu films, a Bengali one, too.
In Tamil, three-hour films are normal.
I hope to do more films in Tamil.
I love acting in Tamil cinema. I have decided quite consciously to do at least one good film every year in Tamil.
I'm waiting for the 'Paruthiveeran' kind of roles.
The audience in Kerala have been giving a good response to my films, including 'Paiyaa' and 'Siruthai.'
Many Hindi films that are Tamil remakes rake in huge moolah in Bollywood.
I'm not avoiding the Tamil film industry because I'm making Hindi films. It's just that I'm extremely busy with Bollywood commitments.
I usually don't choose any of my Tamil films depending on the heroes but give priority to the script.
