I like doing comedy.

Bollywood? Me? No way.

For me, repetition is death.

I will try to be a good husband.

Suriya is more handsome than me.

I really want to do a Telugu movie.

I've always wanted to do a double role.

Unless they excite me, I don't sign a movie.

I've not done the Jackie Chan kind of stunts.

I am very selective when it comes to scripts.

Nobody can write stories like Malayalam writers.

I am a big foodie. So, dieting really puts me off!

An actor has to do everything, all genres of films.

I've played heavy characters in my first two films.

Yes, life has certainly changed post my engagement.

It is a treat to do scenes where you silently enact.

Writing is not my forte, but I am good at visualising.

For me, Surya's 'Varanam Ayiram' is a big inspiration.

My parents have ensured that we never develop starry airs.

'Mouna Ragam' is my all-time favourite, and it will always be.

My role in 'Kashmora' required me to take horse riding lessons.

I just want to be fit because I want to look nice without a shirt.

I have drawn a clear line between my personal and professional life.

In my career, I have learnt how to handle failures in a matured manner.

I don't have a set target on the number of films I should do in a year.

The theme of 'Bombay' will make you fall in love with it again and again.

My mother used to pat me instead of slapping me whenever I made a mistake.

I am not a sportsperson. I used to spend all my time in front of a computer.

I've always been a fun-loving guy, and my films will always have some humour.

I'm very selective about my scripts and about how I am projected on the screen.

I would love to do a Malayalam film if the right script and character comes along.

I started off as an assistant director in Mani Ratnam's 'Ayudha Ezhuthu' and 'Yuva.'

I would say 'Siruthai' is a masala film with all the masalas in the right proportion.

Our country is an agriculture-based country. And slowly, we are forgetting our roots.

I always knew I wanted to be in films, but I did not know exactly what I wanted to do.

I took home the pattapatti underwear that I wore in 'Paruthiveeran' for nostalgia's sake.

I don't like six-packs. If you get six-packs in a short time, it will cause health problems.

Bejoy Nambiar had offered me 'Shaitaan' some years ago. But I wasn't confident about my Hindi.

I am not adding more films to my kitty just for the sake of money; I choose my script and do it.

I dub only four hours a day for a Tamil film because my voice doesn't stay strong for long hours.

My fans loved 'Rathnavel Pandian,' as they love mass, but 'Theeran' gave me complete satisfaction.

'Paruthiveeran' was a difficult film to work on. It was my first film but a very strong character.

Fortunately or unfortunately, 'Baahubali' has become a benchmark for all historical-costume dramas.

I love the process of filmmaking. I understood that you have to be a writer in order to be a director.

Who would want to do a bad film? It's just that not all films work in my favour, and I'm fine with it.

The audience in Kerala have been giving a good response to my films, including 'Paiyaa' and 'Siruthai.'

I had to go for physical training for 'Aayirathil Oruvan.' I had to do stunts which required huge leaps.

Many of the characters I play are talkative - 'Oopiri' for instance - so the dubbing process gets longer.

When you relate to a person and are being friendly, it's easy to do a scene without looking uncomfortable.

I must admit, strong films are more interesting to me, as, by the end of the day's shooting, you feel good.
