Allu Arjun

“I keep myself away from people who talk badly about others.”

“I feel Bollywood is slowly recognising the South as a major market.”

“Reach for the stars not drugs.”

“I don't make films for critics.”

“If a movie crosses budget and becomes a hit, no one cares. They care only when it doesn't do well.”

“I am not against acting in a Hindi film, but I will take it up only if the story is right.”

“Malayalam industry is pretty awesome, and I will definitely do a movie in Malayalam. There are some great directors over there.”

“Actually I did not hold the baby immediately because I was not confident of myself. I was initially nervous to hold him, so I had to wait for a few days before I could a feel of him.”

“After the release of my first film 'Gangothri,' my father was so happy that he surprised me by buying me a swanky high-end car.”

“I guess Malayali women like bubbly, happy-go-lucky guys, and I am all of that. I'm yet to discover how I'm such a hit there. The fans there are difficult to win over.”

“I don't need to be on any micro-blogging site, because people don't think about what they say there. At times, people abuse, and it is too harsh for me to handle.”

“Everyone seems to be surprised that I've changed post-marriage. But what's so surprising about it? You must change; it's such a big turning point in your life.”

“My family believes in a good script and ultimately everything that is attached to it. I am more interested in a hit film than a good film.”

“I may be a gadget freak, but let me tell you clearly, I'm not on Twitter.”

“I am grateful that the people of Telangana supported me when I spoke in the Andhra accent, just as much as the people of Andhra embraced my Telangana dialect.”

“I want my films to offer wholesome entertainment and not be my personal showreels.”

“I always consult my father before I take on a project. Not just me - even my brother goes to Dad and speaks to him of his business ideas. Dad has an amazing business acumen, and it would be foolish not to take his advice. Plus, he's our dad at the end of the day, and he would want to see us succeed. He always gives us the best advice.”

“I want to do more films because if you do a lot of films, you become a better actor.”

“I can handle rumors about me. But I don't like things being written about my wife and my family. They don't need to pay a price for me being a star.”

“I am a variety machine; I look for variety in my characters, and an extra edge in the characterisation helps in bringing out a better performance.”
