Everyone has ups and downs. You can’t always get exciting roles.
I don’t consider any film of mine bad. I give all my films the importance they deserve. I look at all my roles with the same kind of seriousness.
Emotions are the same to all human beings. But there is some difference in the way people react to situations.
I am a professional actor, and I am very careful about being sincere to the characters I play.
Hard work and only hard work has paid off for me. Being a very small industry, hard work is must. It has worked wonders for me most of the time.
More meaningful cinema is being made, and that is the reason why you see a rejuvenated Malyalam film industry. But more films aimed at youth are needed.
The success of films is always a combination of many people’s efforts.
I believe in the theory that one cannot make a good film; it just happens.
A product can turn bad, not the production. When you start a film, you feel it will be great. But sometimes as it progresses, it fails somewhere. You can’t blame anyone for that. You can blame only your own intelligence.
