I like movies and I love working in both Tamil and Telugu.
I am open to working in all southern language - Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.
Telugu is a lot like Kannada, so I don't have a problem with Telugu. But Tamil is very difficult to learn, man.
True, I was born and raised in Chennai, fluent in Tamil, but essentially, I am a Telugu guy and a Telugu actor.
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.
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.
I am not really missing theatre as I get to act in films, that too in different languages, such as Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Marathi, my mother tongue.
Having done movies in Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi, I have been accepted both in North and down South. I don't believe in divisions. I like to believe that I am working in the Indian film industry.
I have dubbed in all the three languages - Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
Many Tamil heroes have a good market in Telugu.
I have lot of respect of filmmakers who work in Telugu and Tamil.
I speak Tamil and Telugu better than Bengali.
I've acted in Hindi, English, Tamil and Telugu films.
I miss being on the road. I miss being in front of the fans of the WWE Universe. I miss being on RAW every Monday. I'm just really, really itching to get back.
I've done a host of Tamil and Telugu films, a Bengali one, too.
The pacing in Tamil and Telugu is very different from Malayalam cinema.
