I don't have any dream role. I give my 100% to every character I play, and when the film clicks, it automatically becomes a dream role.

I always believe that one can't interfere in another's work. Once I start work on any film, I surrender myself completely and blindly follow the director.

'Bramhotsavam' is a celebration of families, life and togetherness. It's a film I hold close to my heart.

I work out every day - and my daily routine is a mix of functional and strength training.

Directing a film requires a different set of skills. It is a difficult job, and I am happy being an actor.

I struggled to kick the habit - I would make a decision to give up smoking, but it was hard. I couldn't resist the urge to steal a smoke. It was at that time that I was gifted Allen Carr's book 'The Easy Way to Stop Smoking.' After I read that book, I didn't touch a fag again.
