I would love to work with Raju Hirani. I never thought I would have a wish-list of directors as such, but after seeing the consistency of his storylines and the human touch he gets in his film, I would love to work with him.
I had never danced all my life until I shot for my first song in 'Chirutha.'
I have carried the burden of my dad's image since day one. They never see me as just another guy trying to make his career in the film industry. I am always 'Megastar' Chiranjeevi's son first, and Ram Charan only later.
With 'Rachaa' I get back to action. It has very edgy action.
The success of 'Dhruva' has given me more satisfaction than any of my previous hits, simply because the audience accepted the film even though it was experimental. I really hope this kind of acceptance makes experimental cinema the new mainstream cinema.
Had 'Dhruva' not succeeded, I don't mind calling these films experimental.
My mom was a housewife and a sponge, who would absorb everything and make it all look like a fairytale when he entered the house. For instance, when he came home, I would always be seen studying with my books open. She always made sure that Dad went back to the shoot happily.
Every father and son have conflicts.
Initially, it would bother me when filmmakers, script writers, dialogue writers and choreographers tried to recreate a bit of my dad though me.
'Dhruva' will have them glued to their seats throughout, and I'm sure of that.
Krishna Vamsi is a very good director.
With a focus on records and making money, you tend to miss a good story.
I wanted to get a cropped hairdo, but Sreenu Vaitla loves my look in 'Chiruta,' so he suggested that I keep the long hair.
I definitely want to work in Hindi films.
I can speak a little bit of Hindi but understand every word.
I am honoured to have been chosen for an Amitabh Bachchan film.
I am open to them. If I come across something interesting, and I think it suits me, I may do a horror movie.
'3 Idiots' was remade in various languages down south, but it wasn't successful anywhere because the magic was created by Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani.
Upsi is definitely the more romantic of the two. I am more laid back. We do have our differences of opinion sometimes. Upsi is always the first one to break the ice after an argument or a difference of opinion. That's what I love most about her.
Life is one big love story with hundreds of little love stories within it.
