The intensity of 'Arjun Reddy' was too much for me.
In 'Taxiwaala,' I am not Arjun Reddy. In fact, the two characters are so different that if they were to meet, they'd hate each other.
I had a temper problem even before I did this film, but doing 'Arjun Reddy' has made me more impatient.
Arjun Reddy's fits of rage, his ill-tempered responses towards the girl he loves... I think we all have these dark areas in our personality.
Like Tamil audiences, the Telugus, too, are welcoming of novelty. The fact that 'Arjun Reddy,' which had no regular songs, became such a big hit, says it all.
We made 'Arjun Reddy' with Rs 5-6 crores. And it seems it will make a lot more money than we had thought it would. So you see, miracles do happen! I believe in them.
It is funny because, honestly, there isn't much I got to do in 'Kabir Singh' in terms of acting, but many are appreciating what I have done.
Things for me have quite changed after 'Kabir Singh,' and I am happy with the way things are shaping up.
Sohan Singh Bhakna, Gurdit Singh, Teja Singh Sutantar, Banta Singh Sanghwal... they are my fathers. Those who gave their lives for freedom are my fathers.
With 'Gold,' it was a very simple girl, and in 'Kabir Singh,' it's more of a glam role. That's my aim: I want to experiment as much as I can. These two are very small areas of experimentation.
I was on bed rest because of a fracture for about three months. 'Kabir Singh' happened immediately after that. So it was a good way to get back to work after a break.
For 'Kabir Singh,' an entirely original album had to be done and that's how music should be made, but unfortunately that does not happen as the labels and the producers are more interested in fast food music.
The Hindi remake rights for 'Visaranai' have been bought by director Priyadarshan.
I grew up in Banaras on Kabir and other Hindi poets and then I got introduced to Faiz, Hasrat Mohani, Allama Iqbal and Majaaz. They took me to another facet of literature and drama.
Modi is shielding and encouraging fraud-accused persons such as Gali Janardhan Reddy and Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy. He is encouraging fraudsters, both directly and indirectly, and thereby helping open floodgates for corruption and frauds.
I don't have any favourite's as all the actors that come to the industry are all well trained in acting. But I like Ranbir Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor as they are amazing actor and have a great screen presence, besides Ranveer Singh is one of the actors I like as he has immense energy that makes him stand out in crowed.
