My passion is films and making them.

It's good to have a governing body to oversee matters in making of films, but you can't blame films for what is happening in society.

The films I've done with all my heart have gone on to become huge hits. When I set out to do a 'mass masala' intending to please B and C centres, it bombs.

Films like 'Namo Venkateshaya' give immense satisfaction, happiness, and makes us feel blessed, and so I consider it the best film in my career.

People know excessive consumption of anything is bad for health. By imposing a ban on something, we are, in a way, provoking them to do it.

It's depressing to think what it would mean to be impaired down the neck.
