Aagadu' will be a very different film and it will be like a full meal to the audiences.

When Surender Reddy told me that I should play a serious role, I was quite confused; however, a lot of people told me that the audience has loved my part in the film. I thank the entire team of 'Race Gurram' for their support.

I'm happy I've been entertaining audiences for so many years and I hope to continue for many more.

I remember till 997th film, but after that I got so busy with multiple projects; I'm not sure which one released as my 1,000th film.

Over the years, I managed to develop this comedy career, went from opening act to headliner at comedy clubs, to playing concert halls, and had an off-Broadway show with 'Sleepwalk With Me.'

I wrote a play at drama school, which was a dark comedy - people laughed and cried. And then my script of one of the shows was picked up by a comedy sketch company... so then I had to write comedy.

Humor, for me, is really a gate of departure. It's a way of enticing a reader into a poem so that less funny things can take place later. It really is not an end in itself, but a means to an end.

My second year of college, I started performing comedy at an open mic. It was good to do open mics with the kids. It's a good, safe spot to start, you know?
