I had a smooth take-off in Malayalam, I would like to explore more and take up films that are different in Tamil.
I would love to explore my options in Tamil as well as Malayalam.
We know of instances of stage plays being made into films. But I really think that all Tamil films can be staged; I'd like to take up K. Balachander's films and do that.
For me, Malayalam films remain the most important. I don't want to do more Tamil films just for the sake of it.
I am more comfortable working in Tamil films rather than in Malayalam.
In Tamil or Malayalam, there was a time when light films ruled. Then, a spate of drama or women-oriented stunt films followed.
A lot of people ask me how I keep my skin fairly smooth and avoid breakouts, and I think that's because I always take off my make-up before I go to bed, and I mean really take it off.
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.
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.
Yes, I have had more commercial success in Malayalam but that doesn't mean I can't do with more in Tamil.
But I've always admired Tamil and Malayalam films, and language isn't a barrier for me.
Don't think I am going to let Bob Hoskins take all his clothes off and me not take a look? I just had a quick look up and down, like you would.
The pacing in Tamil and Telugu is very different from Malayalam cinema.
Following 'Urumi,' I did get a lot of offers from Malayalam, but frankly, managing films in several industries can become a little hectic. So I decided not to take them up.
My father, George, has also affected the choices in my life regarding films. I like films that take chances or say something different or experiment. Growing up with him, I was surrounded by different artists - not just actors or film-makers but cartoonists, poets, writers.
In 2010 I had signed three big banner films with actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Tabu, Arjun Rampal. Directors like Ken Ghosh, Bela Bhansali signed me and I had got my signing amounts but those films did not take off at all.
Tamil films have to be faster than a Malayalam film but not as fast as a Hindi film.
