I have done about 25 films in Malayalam and won awards for my performances in films like 'Nandanam' and 'Saira.'
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 watch a lot of Malayalam films and admire them greatly. The films have such wonderful content.
There was a time when not many people had access to Malayalam films. So those who did have access went on to copy the films, add a few bits, and present it like it was their own.
For me, Malayalam films remain the most important. I don't want to do more Tamil films just for the sake of it.
I enjoy making films. I have made all kinds of films, including action films, romantic films, period films like 'Kala Pani.'
In Tamil or Malayalam, there was a time when light films ruled. Then, a spate of drama or women-oriented stunt films followed.
Culturally, I remember listening to Salil Chowdhury's music for Malayalam films. Many Bengali actors have worked in our films, too.
I would like to address the issue of farmers through my craft - my films. But, the sad part is that such films win awards but don't get any rewards at the BO.
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.
I have done 33 films in one year, for which I hold a Guinness Book World record. Plus I've done songs for all languages from Hindi to Malayalam, Punjabi to Telugu, and Kannada to Oriya.
I think I've done pretty well. I've had about 46, or 47 nominations from my movies, and my films have won about 12 awards, so I don't have any complaints.
Though not into films, my family was associated with films. My grandparents financed films. They didn't like me getting into films. But, destiny willed it so.
The vampire or the bad guy, that's what people do remember. Lars von Trier, like Guy Maddin, their films are made for a group of exclusive people who like special films. And they are special films, they are art films. And I started with commercial films at the beginning, and later on, because you know, when you are an actor, you have the same cliché like everybody else, you want to be in big films, you want to be known and all that.
If films could run because of performances, everybody's films would do well. It is the director who makes the film.
In the 80s, parallel cinema gained momentum. So, I got back to films and won National awards for Maqbool' and other films.
I enjoy making all kinds of films. I love action films, war films, period films, adventure films.
