Some of my scripts need the larger catchment area of Bollywood. But some suit Telugu films.
Four of my films have been remade in Tamil and Telugu. Although I haven't seen any of these remakes, I do feel happy that I've been a part of good films. It's nice to know that some scripts still leave behind a mark after their theatrical run this way, so I have to admit, it is quite flattering.
In Bollywood, you have to do one film at a time, and there are no mixed schedules. And doing four films at a time is out of the question. Telugu film industry works very differently. But the kind of films I'm getting here are better than what I've been offered in Bollywood.
I really respect Telugu cinema and the fact that people out here have a totally different style of working and are at par with Bollywood. Sometimes, they beat Bollywood with the kind of films they make.
What Bollywood lacks is scripts. A lot of the films are copies of western films.
Bollywood is a different ballgame. I am quite used to Tamil and Telugu films.
As long as I am acting, I will do only Telugu films. I want to take Telugu films to the world. Everyone should talk about our films.
I had a great time doing Bollywood and Telugu films, and it's been an interesting journey.
I wouldn't want to do a Bollywood film per se, but I would like to do an Indian-language film. For some reason I think Bollywood has become synonymous with commercial cinema, which is song and dance and everything that is larger than life, and I am interested in the reality.
I can never take a break from Telugu films, because they have given me a lot of recognition. No matter how busy I am or the number of films that I do elsewhere, I always keep my schedule free for at least two to three films in Telugu.
I like directors that give their composer a juicy role in their films. Some films have a small, minor role for music, some have a larger role.
All my films have been larger-than-life. And since I've sat on almost all the scripts of the films I've produced, I do not compromise on aesthetics and visuals that could add to a scene.
For some reason, I shied away from watching Telugu films but now I am hooked to them.
I find the working pattern to be the same in Bollywood as well as Tollywood. Especially because most directors of photography from the Telugu industry operate in Bollywood, too.
It is a great feeling to be working in Bollywood where films are made with much larger scope.
I would play the lead role in films which have scripts that suit me.
I am not in Bollywood for item songs. I have to do some meaty roles and realistic films.
