Tough times call for tougher decisions.

I knew that when the trailer of 'Bahubali' released, it would have a great impact, and it did.

When audiences start calling you by your character's names, your job is done!

Most of the actresses I have worked with have started their career in South and then shifted to Bollywood.

I think you have to learn for yourself how to write. I'm slightly mystified by creative writing courses - God love them - because I can't understand how you can explain a process that I find so baffling.

Film and television is just a different technique in terms of how to approach the camera but basically the job is the same; but what you learn as a craft in theater, you can then learn to translate that into any mediums.

I think the two main tools actors have are the imagination of what other people have gone through, to connect with and through research, and there's one's own experience.

Sometimes, the songs that really affected me were not from the artist catalogue of their music, like the song 'Thunder Road' by Bruce Springsteen. I never got into any of his other music, but that song, to this day, is in my top three lyrical masterpieces of all time.
