“There have been instances of many trying to pull me down in Mollywood. However, I have no complaints.”

“Of late, Mollywood has been having many films that are being made not because the makers think it will be accepted by the audience; but because they know that they can get back their investment made in the film by selling its satellite rights. This, I believe, is a very bad trend.”

“I don't do every film that comes my way.”

“I think filmmakers need to explore more in the action genre.”

“I have never taken supplements or steroids in my life and the only luxury I allow myself is tea.”

“I'm not interested in doing every role that is coming my way.”

“Especially today, Mollywood's action scenes comprise of many 'hero touches and the villain flies' scenes. I never promoted that, and only believed in realistic stunts, with just the right amount of cinematic feel seasoned on them.”

“My kids like it when I sit with them and watch the movies or games they are interested in.”

“I agree to play a character if I feel that as an audience member, it will entertain me.”

“I don't take films to prove my talent and receive critical acclaim or awards.”

“'Poovizhi Vasalile' was remade into five languages, including Hindi, and I played the same role in all.”

“I am not getting many offers in Mollywood, which is not the case in other film industries. And of the roles that are offered to me, I choose only the best.”

“I am looking for variety roles.”

“Martial arts have always been a major part of my life.”

“I'm eagerly looking forward to substantial roles from Kollywood filmmakers.”

“I will play a villain only if the role is a powerful one.”

“Generally, occasions like Maundy Thursday and Easter can strictly be family affairs for Christian households. But, while I was growing up in my ancestral home in Ponkunnam in Kottayam district, they weren't so. My late dad was a very cool, affable person who liked to involve our friends and neighbors too in such celebrations.”

“It's been almost 10 years since I had done an out-and-out action movie, as I have also been diversifying into roles of other genre.”

“I strongly feel there is nothing like a trend or even 'new generation movies.' A movie can be of a new generation only in terms of technology and nothing else.”

“It is not easy to find the right story and director.”
