“When I started 'NOTA,' I didn't know a thing about Tamil politics.”
“I can't show, let alone share, my emotions. In fact, I've kept it all locked up within myself all my life. Yeah, it's a problem, especially when it comes to relationships with the people close to me.”
“No two people react to things the same way, and even the same person reacts differently at a different time.”
“I didn't even choose to be born! It was my parents' decision to have a child.”
“I had a temper problem even before I did this film, but doing 'Arjun Reddy' has made me more impatient.”
“I spent half my life in a boarding school where we were shown only the sporadic wholesome classic like 'The Sound Of Music.' So, I am not familiar with most of the works of the acting greats in Bollywood, Hollywood, or Tamil-Telugu cinema.”
“I ventured into cinema after theatre because I didn't want to confine myself to just one auditorium. I wanted the whole world to talk about me.”
“I was always motivated to make my parents proud and wait for that one opportunity. Finally, it happened with 'Yevade Subramanyam,' and since then, I have never looked back.”
“The intensity of 'Arjun Reddy' was too much for me.”
“My father came to Hyderabad to become an actor, took an acting course, and realised he was camera conscious.”
“A learning experience is the best way to sum up my first film credit. It's hard to break into the film industry, and it was a minor role but still my only shot at the movies while I was doing theater.”
“It's nice to fool around with clothes, and that comes from some recklessness. I suddenly feel like wearing a lungi and a jacket, and now I have the access to do what I want. When I was doing theatre, my Muslim friends would invite me to an Iftar party, and I'd go wearing a dhoti while others would be in a kurta-pyjama.”
“I am averse to incompetency. I need mentally stimulating people and intelligent conversations.”
“I would say that it's wrong to milk someone's misery.”
“I couldn't be working in a bank and launch a clothing line. It's only because cinema gave me a lot of access that I have been able to launch a clothing line.”
“Arjun Reddy's fits of rage, his ill-tempered responses towards the girl he loves... I think we all have these dark areas in our personality.”
“I guess you cannot prepare yourself enough for stardom, even though you strive for it all your life.”
“Why do human beings find it so hard to live and let live? Countries are messing with each other. Religions are messing with each other. Castes are messing with each other; people mess with each other.”
“I'm not sure if career can be planned.”
“I enjoy watching the genre of family dramas. I love family films like 'Nuvvu Naku Nacchav,' 'Malleeswari,' and 'Bommarillu.'”
