I have acted in Tamil and Telugu, languages that were alien to me. It was then that I got the call to Malayalam.
I am not really missing theatre as I get to act in films, that too in different languages, such as Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Marathi, my mother tongue.
Telugu and Tamil industries keenly watch Malayalam movies and are appreciative of the content, be it 'Ustad Hotel,' 'Premam' or 'Bangalore Days.' They've also been listening to our music. That's how I was approached for Telugu films.
As long as I am acting, I will do only Telugu films. I want to take Telugu films to the world. Everyone should talk about our films.
I have dubbed in all the three languages - Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
I have been watching all kind of films and I am a bit familiar with Kannada, Telugu and Tamil.
I did Kannada when I was in college. I wasn't even sure of what I was doing. I started figuring out my career in acting when I began doing Telugu and Tamil films.
Four of my films have been remade in Tamil and Telugu. Although I haven't seen any of these remakes, I do feel happy that I've been a part of good films. It's nice to know that some scripts still leave behind a mark after their theatrical run this way, so I have to admit, it is quite flattering.
I have sung in all languages, and so every people know me - Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu.
I am not familiar with Telugu, Tamil or Malayalam and tend to feel they are foreign languages to me.
For 'Rakht Charitra,' I had to gain and lose weight. I simultaneously shot the film in three languages - Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi.
I've acted in Hindi, English, Tamil and Telugu films.
I've done a host of Tamil and Telugu films, a Bengali one, too.
I have done films in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada. I don't find any difference.
I'm always open to acting in Tamil films. In fact, I'm open to films from the south.
Bollywood is a different ballgame. I am quite used to Tamil and Telugu films.
