I want to do sensible films.

I don't usually prefer over-the-top action.

Both Dad and Granddad treat me like a friend.

I can't differentiate between mass and class films.

I always feel pleasure while introducing new talent.

I love taking my bike for a spin during my free time.

I want my work to make news and not my personal life.

It's time for Telugu cinema to make its presence felt.

Every moment shooting for 'Manam' has been very special.

I want to make every film different from my previous one.

I'm calm and composed, and I don't expect a lot from anyone.

For me, every other actor is a threat, and it makes me work hard.

Pooja Hegde is not only a good actress but also very hardworking.

I love fresh ideas and want to do films which offer something new.

I believe in films that have logic behind every emotion or action.

I take criticism positively, and I keep trying to develop as an actor.

To survive in this industry, you need to prove yourself. Stardom follows.

Audiences like me in soft, romantic roles, and 'Premam' ticks all the boxes.

I'm not a social guy. I don't like the constant media glare on everything I do.

I have no qualms approaching directors who I know will help me grow as an actor.

Your work should do the talking and define who you are. That's the mantra I follow.

I'm not the type who parties regularly. I'm happy sitting at home, cooling my heels.

My father doesn't like to promote me every time, and he wants me to build my own image.

It makes sense for an actor to space out his releases. But filmmaking is unpredictable.

Most of my time is in front of the camera, so the little time that I get is mine alone.

When it comes to scripts, I take a critical look at them and then sound it off with Dad.

Action movies haven't been encouraging in my case. Nevertheless, this is my favourite genre.

Off screen, I am a very shy person, and I want to keep my personal life completely personal.

If somebody asks me to choose a biopic, it would be Narain Karthikeyan because I love racing.

I don't like to mix my personal and professional life. Both are different, and I don't mix it.

I'm a very private person, and I never felt the need to speak about my relationship in public.

Mollywood movies are narrated at their own pace, unlike Telugu movies, which ought to be crisp.

I believe failures are very important in any person's growth. I've learnt what not to do from them.

I'm not very particular about the commercial angle in my films, but entertainment is very important.

As an actor, it's really important for me to improve my work, and I take criticism in a positive sense.

I really liked 'Premam,' and when we decided to remake it, our intention was never to make a better film.

The love for fitness is something I picked up from my dad, and I make it a point not to miss working out.

Coming from Akkineni family, I could say I was drawn into cinema, but nobody forced me to become an actor.

Going to a gym or playing a sport should not be mechanical. There should be an emotional attachment to it.

I always cooperate to complete a film within the budget. Not a single film of mine has overshot its budget.

My father always watches my films and gives his opinion. I am even ready to reshoot at times if he asks me to.

I think Grandad's demise brought our family closer. He has been such a great personality and inspiration to us.

'Sailaja Reddy Alludu' bears similarity to my father's film 'Allari Alludu,' and it's a fun family entertainer.

Usually, I prefer not to clarify anything that is being talked about me, but when it goes out of limits, I reply.

I wanted to do action, and it was a bit irritating when people called me a chocolate boy. I can do other films, too.

When 'Ye Maaya Chesaave' released, there were no expectations. With '100% Love,' I felt, 'Oh my God, it has to work.'

My father and my grandfather always watch my films and share their feedback with me. It helps me a lot in my own career.

'Manam' will always be close to my heart, and I will cherish the the memories of shooting with my grandfather all my life.

When I told my father about Samantha, he simply laughed and said that he is happy and that he already knew about our love story.

In most Telugu families, marriage is a union of two families, and 'Rarandoi Veduka Chuddam' presents conflicts from that aspect.
