Kenny Bates is a legend.

Karan Johar is a great person.

I have no political aspiration.

I am still shy when I go to interviews.

Tough times call for tougher decisions.

I feel lucky that so many people admire me.

No star is bigger than the success of a film.

I never liked being called the young rebel star.

I will do stories which most of the audiences like.

Actors have limited time. We also have a shelf life.

You don't have to look like a warrior in every role.

I criticise myself a lot. My friends complain about it.

I would even commit seven years to a film for Rajamouli.

I am really happy to have been selected by Madame Tussauds.

I have seen 'Munnabhai MBBS' and '3 Idiots' around 20 times.

Friendship is a personal issue, and it should remain that way.

I like spending time with my family and friends on my birthday.

I want to do Indian films based on scripts with a universal appeal.

Los Angeles is great for partying and also for its sights and sounds.

People recognise me from all over the country, which we didn't expect.

Everything else is irrelevant after the bliss of giving a perfect shot.

We were pampered, but our family taught us how to lead a balanced lifestyle.

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

I want my films to be entertaining: not comedy, but something which is gripping.

The action scenes you'll see in 'Saaho' are all real - it's going to look fantastic.

I would be stupid to say no to Bollywood. It is the biggest film industry in our country.

Audiences remember you because of your work, so I believe in working hard through my films.

When I was about 18 or 19, I told my father that I want to be an actor, and he was shocked.

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

I watch a lot of Hindi films. I live in Hyderabad, where 60 per cent of the people speak Hindi.

Whenever any actress works with an actor again, more than once, people start linking their names.

I truly believe Abu Dhabi is one of the world's best film locations, and I can't wait to come back.

Working with Rajamouli and Karan is home ground for me now, having worked with them for such a long time.

I feel dull when I am unable to see my mother for long. So, when I am in Hyderabad, I spend time with her.

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

I love Rajkumar Hirani's films. I saw 'PK,' and I didn't like it much... But I loved his previous three films.

I made a good association with Karan Johar. If I want anything, I think I can ask him. He has helped us a lot.

I consider Rajamouli my guru. He is a friend with whom I can discuss all my professional and personal matters.

I will do films in any of the languages, provided the script is good. The region and the language don't matter.

Once the shooting starts, we don't mind whether it is 43 degrees plus or minus 6 degrees: we just keep working.

You get films like 'Baahubali' once in your life. And Amrendra Bahubali is a character that I can never forget.

My character in 'Saaho' is completely contrasting to my character in 'Baahubali,' and I am quite excited about it.

I am a big a fan of Raveena! Every time I saw the song from 'Andaz Apna Apna' - 'Elo ji sanam,' I was like, 'Wow!'

For 'Baahubali,' I gained eight or nine kilos for the warrior look. But for 'Saaho,' I didn't need look like that.

Given my family background, whenever, as a child, I was asked about becoming an actor, I used to answer in the negative.

The idea of working in films came after I passed class ten. I was planning to set up a restaurant and manage a business.

I think the fact that Rajamouli sir wrote the character of 'Baahubali' for me has been the biggest compliment in itself.

First, the media blames us stars for not doing more films. But when we are shooting, you want us to take a break. Not fair!

A holiday is an opportunity to journey within. It is also a chance to chill, to relax. It is when I switch on my rest mode.

Once I see my mother's smiling face, I forget all the shooting pressures and tensions. I am the happiest person at that moment.
