I watch a lot of Malayalam films and admire them greatly. The films have such wonderful content.
I respect Malayalam films the same way I respect Bengali films. I think Malayalam films have not compromised on the essence and have kept their own statement and are coming up with very good themes.
I do watch Malayalam films, but please don't ask me which are the ones that I saw.
When I was a kid, my grandfather used to watch Bollywood films. There's a lot of colour and vibrancy to the Indian films.
I watch all kinds of Indian cinema. There are many good films in Bengali, Marathi and Malayalam.
My place is cemented in Malayalam films. Malayalam is not my language and it felt alien to me. But for them, I am someone from Karnataka who could deliver.
Whenever I used to watch Hollywood films, I used to feel, when would Tollywood make such films?
I don't watch my own past films: when I watch them, I find they don't work very well, because I have changed. If I continue to make films, in fact, it is because I always want to repair my films. My inner rhythm has changed; I have changed. I have changed my way to film.
I used to watch a lot of motivational films and videos to remain positive.
I was lucky because I used to live right next to a video-rental store. I used to spend so much time watching films. So I've seen a lot. I used to watch 'Dynasty' and 'Dallas' and have seen every kind of film. I've been influenced by everything I've seen.
I simply love Malayalam films because they do great cinema, and there is a whole lot of effort that goes into it.
When I studied with Nicholas Ray he was always telling us, "If you want to make films, watch a lot of films, but don't just watch films, go take a walk, look at the sky, read a book about meteorology, look at the design of people's shoes. Because all of them are part of filmmaking." So I thought, perfect! That's a good job for me.
I have done about 25 films in Malayalam and won awards for my performances in films like 'Nandanam' and 'Saira.'
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.
My thought process is in Malayalam. So, every time I have to work outside Malayalam, the process is a little stressful. I have to translate my Malayalam thoughts into English and back to Tamil.
For me, Malayalam films remain the most important. I don't want to do more Tamil films just for the sake of it.
