“I want my films to do the talking. I feel if people have to understand me better, I should do more good films. I just want them to know me through my films.”

“Mohan Raja is an interesting filmmaker. He is constantly, if I may use the word, contradicting himself. He explains a scene, and then he will try to break that and rebuild it. That, to me, is filmmaking. Every scene is constructed after a lot of discussions.”

“I've done only things I've liked, and I'm happy that others have liked them, too. I hope it keeps going that way. But l would never want to do films which please just one set of audience; they should connect with everyone.”

“I will happily sit at home and take care of the house.”

“People often ask whether marriage has changed me. I didn't marry because I had to change.”

“If I had my way, I want to do 15 films in a year, but I have realised I cannot physically do that.”

“I often see only my mistakes. I always feel I could have done better. Every artist goes through it.”

“I want to entertain viewers as much as possible.”

“I never wanted to be an actor but ended up being one.”

“I want my films to make money first. Awards and all can come later.”

“I don't expect to win awards while working in films.”

“In Malayalam, I can improvise, and acting is easy because I think in Malayalam, but for 'Velaikkaran,' I had to prepare for a role, which is a first for me.”

“When I listen to a basic thought, I try to visualise the cinema in it. Sometimes it is dark, sometimes boyish, sometimes amateurish. It is a trial and error method. But the bottom line is that I want to entertain the audience.”

“All I believe in is, you need to be yourself.”

“My father hasn't backed me in any way, and I don't think anybody has backed me.”

“I have never been 100% confident that I am right about anything.”

“I have grown up seeing success and failure.”

“There are two kinds of films: the ones that are devoid of logic but can still hijack the audience, and those that can win them over with logic. Both kinds can succeed, and I like to work in both.”

“People know me through my characters. I don't think they have any idea about the individual that I am. They know I am a director's son, and I am married to an actress.”

“All I want to do is to make movies that are appealing to people.”
