I truly believe Abu Dhabi is one of the world's best film locations, and I can't wait to come back.
'Baahubali' was a film that was never done before. Rajamouli sir was my biggest inspiration because he lives in the smallest house and drives the smallest cars, but he makes the biggest films ever. He taught me the art of analysing your own strengths, and I take inspiration from him.
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!
My character in 'Saaho' is completely contrasting to my character in 'Baahubali,' and I am quite excited about it.
My uncle is an actor, my dad is a producer, so they asked me if I was interested, and I was like, 'How can someone act in front of so many people with lights and emote.'
Given my family background, whenever, as a child, I was asked about becoming an actor, I used to answer in the negative.
I like Dubai because of the sheer scale on which the city is built. It is completely futuristic but with a warm, old-world ethos.
Karan Johar is a great person.
I want my films to be entertaining: not comedy, but something which is gripping.
Most of the times, I am on a strict diet for my characters, but once in a while, I love indulging in a bucket full of ice cream.
Actors have limited time. We also have a shelf life.
Whenever any actress works with an actor again, more than once, people start linking their names.
I am really happy to have been selected by Madame Tussauds.
We were pampered, but our family taught us how to lead a balanced lifestyle.
Back home, I find small towns very peaceful. When my father and uncle were still in the film business, we had a tradition of travelling to the temple town of Srisailam to screen every film before its release. I still go there often.
In Hollywood, the guy who plays Batman and Spiderman also plays normal characters. The biggest stars in the world want to play different characters. We can't give the excuse that because an actor played a superhero in his previous film, his next one won't work.
I was the laziest person around. Suddenly, one day, I decided to become an actor. Thank God for that whimsical decision: else, by now, I'd have been a 140-kilo, butter-chicken-bingeing hotelier.
