I was born and brought up in Chennai, as the entire Telugu film industry was based there.
True, I was born and raised in Chennai, fluent in Tamil, but essentially, I am a Telugu guy and a Telugu actor.
My mother tongue is Telugu. I was born and brought up in Tamil Nadu.
I'm half Telugu. My mom is Telugu and dad, a Maharashtrian. I was brought up in Gwalior. I was exposed to English, Hindi, and Marathi. I heard my mom speak to her family in Telugu, so I got the hang of it.
I am a typical Telugu boy dominated by all the qualities of a Hyderabadi because I was born and brought up here.
While signing 'Sakhavu,' I wasn't aware of the depth of communism in Kerala. I was born and brought up in Chennai, and our political ideologies are very different.
I prefer the Telugu film industry, as women are respected more than they are in the Tamil film industry. In Tamil cinema, they care only about their hero, who is God.
'Baahubali's success augurs well for the Telugu film industry as a whole. It has opened up new markets.
Chennai seems to be the base for the South Indian film industry in general.
I am delighted to have won a place in both Tamil and Telugu film industry.
I wanted to greet people in Telugu, so I asked someone how to say 'How are you' in Telugu. In fact, I instructed my entire staff to speak to me only in Telugu. So, there were times when I would ask them to translate certain words for me in Hindi, but the effort paid off.
The consolidated appreciation that 'Eega' is the pride of the Telugu film industry is the biggest award I can get.
When I was young I did not know about the Telugu film industry. Then I forayed into it and one project led to another.
I am a Malayali who was brought up in Chennai. I know both Malayalam and Tamil.
The number of African Americans in Silicon Valley is dismal. It's not up to one company - it's up to the entire industry to make sure that we are moving the conversation forward. Sometimes those walls of competition need to come down so we can move the entire industry forward.
Balancing my career between two industries has never been an issue. I started with a Telugu film and have a soft corner for the south industry, though I've grown up speaking Hindi. I don't think language can be a barrier when it comes to acting. And, since I come from a theatre background, I'm used to memorizing my lines.
Honestly, and seriously, I know I have to do a Telugu film. It was my grandmother's dream to see me in a Telugu film before she died. I couldn't fulfil her dream before she passed away, but I don't want to let go of it, either.
