“When I do serious films, I find that my viewership comes down.”

“It is not an easy job to make people laugh always.”

“As an artiste, I take up roles where there is scope to perform and that can reach out to the audience.”

“I like to do realistic films as well as sensible humourous subjects, just because I think these films are only capable to attract people to the theatres. Though I agree that serious movies are also good and I like to watch them, it is a fact that majority of the people are hesitant to go to theatres for those films.”

“I never feel insecure about my career because I believed that in some way or other, good things come to you. This might be the only reason that I never take pride in stardom or a celebrity status.”

“After watching movies like Sajeev Pazhoor's 'Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum' and G Prajith's 'Oru Vadakkan Selfie,' I had wished to be part of such films.”

“I like to continue as a good actor.”

“The best thing about doing a realistic film is that you have the freedom to deliver your lines as natural as possible without sticking to the script.”

“I have done several films and it is only if the character appeals to me, whether as a hero or as a second hero, that I go for it. That's been my attitude toward films.”

“At one stage of my film career, between 2007 and 2010, I had taken up many projects where I played the role of a police officer. Later, I deliberately took a decision to not do any police roles. Since then I've been growing my hair and beard so that I'm not roped in for any such roles.”

“I feel I have a certain gravitas.”

“We cannot do just one type of movies always.”

“I feel that it is a privilege to make viewers laugh.”

“It was Benny P Nayarambalam who first cast me in a character which made people laugh, in 'Marykkundoru Kunjadu.' Then 'Seniors' happened, followed by 'Ordinary' and 'Romans.' They were all commercially successful films and so I kept getting such roles.”

“I like serious films and earlier used to do only such films.”
