“I have wanted to direct for quite some time, but I wanted to be ready and know what I am doing. I wanted to know the basics.”
“People find pleasure in hating someone. I think it's the beginning of kali. If someone has betrayed you, it's understandable that you hate them. But hating someone you don't even know... that's something I will never understand.”
“Music is my breath, blood and food - without music I would perish; the actor in me would die.”
“Trust me, it has been anything but easy to make it as an actor.”
“Apart from 'VIP' being a blockbuster movie, the various characters such as mine, the Luna bike I use in the movie, the lovable amma and appa, a pet dog named Harry Potter, the innocent brother, etc., had a huge reach among the audiences.”
“Wherever I went, I became a son-in-law. It was a terrible phase for me. I had to work double hard to get back my identity. Whenever I gave an interview, the first question would invariably be, 'What is it like to be his son-in-law?' Now that question comes somewhere in the middle of the interview. Hopefully, soon, it won't be asked at all.”
“I never wanted to let go of the opportunity, and so I hit upon 'VIP 2'.”

“The world is shrinking, and everyone is majorly interested in Indian films now.”
“The screenplay has to be gripping. That's when the film will work. Then, I see how much I can relate to the character I'm playing.”
“It has been great journey from where I have started to where I am today. I am really blessed with God's grace.”
“I made shorts films, learning the dos and don'ts. Most importantly, I've been editing all these short films. Nothing can teach you filmmaking like editing can.”
