“When the director narrates the story, I try to understand how he wants me to do my role and I try to deliver that.”

“I am grateful to those directors who actually designed roles for me.”

“I may be a character artiste but I want the audiences to clap and whistle for me as well.”

“I am looking for different roles as many writers are coming up with the same kind of characters.”

“Who doesn't like being appreciated, right?”

“I wish all our Telugu artistes get more opportunities in our films. Though talent has no boundaries, we should see that our artistes don't fade away.”

“Yes, many people compare me with my father and I feel proud and happy that Telugu people are enjoying my roles.”

“I want to build a name through my roles and will not compromise with what is offered to me.”

“Sad stories have no takers.”

“I try and balance positive and negative character traits given to me.”

“My father passed away in 1994 and I cancelled all my plans. After I lost him, I didn't know what to do and sat idle for many days. I got frustrated and angry for even little things.”

“It was not easy to get even a small role in a film although my father was a very big name in the industry. Finally, I got a very small role as Simran's brother in 'Seema Simham,' starring Balakrishna.”

“I was interested in photography from my college days and wanted to become a cinematographer.”

“I can proudly say that I didn't spoil my father's name.”
