“No film survives because of a big name. If a film has to survive generations, it will survive on its content and craft.”
“I was always toying with the idea of acting.”
“These days, I pay attention to my eating habits and avoid junk food, but looks are not that important to be a good actor.”
“I only treat myself as an audience with each film, I enjoy different stories.”
“I would love to work on a film which would be close to Hollywood standards.”
“I felt very happy when people mentioned that I had done a good job in my debut flick.”
“If composing music is like going to the gym in the morning, acting is like an additional session of yoga. They don't need to be mutually exclusive.”
“My style of cinema is different and I always look at my films as the audience would.”
“Acting is just another facet and it will not affect my output as a music director.”
“I get commercial acclaim because of critical acclaim and it is a chain reaction.”
“I have composed music for many city-based movies.”
“Actually, my career as a music director turned out to be a disappointment. I believed I gave good songs but the response and recognition from the industry was not great.”
“I knew my limitations even when I was a music director.”
“If there's a scene in which I need to cry or emote heavily, I just take care of it during the dubbing sessions.”
“Kolaigaran' is not a typical hero-villain subject. We explored the other side of human nature, which is grey.”
“Compared to my previous films, 'Kaasi' is special. All credit goes to the director.”
“As an actor, I give 60 days to act in a film, but the writer takes nearly two to three years to create a story.”
“Intelligent decisions may fail you but one's instincts cannot.”
“It's not that easy, but the moment the camera is switched on, I have to mould myself to breathe life into the characters I portray.”
“Of course, social networking is essential. The feedback helps me grow. And it's a real stress buster.”
