In Tamil Nadu, watching a film on a festival is a part of our culture. People prefer going to a theatre rather than bursting crackers at home.
Many of the characters I play are talkative - 'Oopiri' for instance - so the dubbing process gets longer.
'Paruthiveeran' was a difficult film to work on. It was my first film but a very strong character.
My parents have ensured that we never develop starry airs.
When I was in the U.S., I was caught by the cops for speeding and charged a fine of 200 dollars. I didn't have so much money then - I was still a student - but I certainly didn't want to spend a night behind bars. I called a few of my friends frantically and they bailed me out of the situation.
My fans are indulging in social welfare activities from time to time and have also been helping economically backward students.
