Allu Arjun

“I would love to explore my options in Tamil as well as Malayalam.”

“The Kerala market may be small, but the reach is very wide. I am told Malayalis in Russia and Paris, too, watch my films, and that's something!”

“Since most of our films cater to crossover audiences, I think it's time we make films for multilingual viewers.”

“I want to be remembered as a star.”

“I like new challenges.”

“If my film doesn't make money, it means people didn't go watch it. So it doesn't matter then that the critics loved it.”

“The character in 'Arya' was so close to my real life persona. The director saw me once and felt I was the right guy for the role because my body language was so flamboyant. In real life, too, I am very peppy and full of life.”

“I no longer need a large television set in my vanity van and just go to Hotstar on my phone - it is much easier to watch everything there.”

“I feel I haven't been used to the fullest of my potential. There are so many genres to explore and diverse subjects to work on.”

“Everything changes with time. I am not so experienced enough to analyze what the people love in me.”

“DSP is not only a music director for many of my films, but he is also a very dear friend.”

“When we do something good, people immediately follow it.”

“In 'Bunny,' I have got my dialogues - almost 80 per cent of my shots were okayed in a single take. I did put in effort and did a lot of homework.”

“'Rudhramadevi' is a film which falls into a very new genre. It is a historic and biographic genre movie. It should be called a bio epic. I am curious to see how the audiences accept the film.”

“I am happy my films have done well in Kerala.”

“Much before I entered films, my dad walked into my room and saw me busy drawing something at 3 A.M. He stood there for some time and said, 'Whatever career choice you make, you are going to be successful.' I'll never forget those words. It gave me the confidence to be who I am today.”

“I always say this, but I'm saying this again. Do not encourage piracy.”

“I don't like to filter myself, but I do it for PR's sake.”

“People will watch your film only if it's good. Another star's flop won't make your film a hit. So my race is with myself.”

“I used to party a lot before marriage.”
