CITATION

  • Everything changes with time. I am not so experienced enough to analyze what the people love in me.
  • I don’t like to filter myself, but I do it for PR’s sake.
  • Depending on the time I get, I do my share of social networking, listen to music, or play a video game. I love watching movies in theatres.
  • I have the best-ever body in ‘Badrinath.’ I have a six-pack body in this movie. I spent eight hours a day working out for the movie.
  • My life is an open book.
  • I like new challenges.
  • In ‘Bunny,’ I have got my dialogues – almost 80 per cent of my shots were okayed in a single take. I did put in effort and did a lot of homework.
  • I don’t believe in legacy. I feel that the ‘mega’ tag definitely acts as a platform, but after that, it’s all on the individual. Legacy does not mean a crown that is passed on; we have to create our own paths.
  • The character in ‘Arya’ was so close to my real life persona. The director saw me once and felt I was the right guy for the role because my body language was so flamboyant. In real life, too, I am very peppy and full of life.
  • I always consult my father before I take on a project. Not just me – even my brother goes to Dad and speaks to him of his business ideas. Dad has an amazing business acumen, and it would be foolish not to take his advice. Plus, he’s our dad at the end of the day, and he would want to see us succeed. He always gives us the best advice.
  • If we give something positive to others, it will return to us. If we give negative, that negativity will be returned.
  • Much before I entered films, my dad walked into my room and saw me busy drawing something at 3 A.M. He stood there for some time and said, ‘Whatever career choice you make, you are going to be successful.’ I’ll never forget those words. It gave me the confidence to be who I am today.
  • I am a variety machine; I look for variety in my characters, and an extra edge in the characterisation helps in bringing out a better performance.
  • Everyone seems to be surprised that I’ve changed post-marriage. But what’s so surprising about it? You must change; it’s such a big turning point in your life.
  • I feel Bollywood is slowly recognising the South as a major market.
  • He has given me several blockbuster albums in all these years, and DSP is the man behind many of the best songs in my career.
  • You can’t expect critics to appreciate all kinds of cinema.
  • I always say this, but I’m saying this again. Do not encourage piracy.
  • I want my films to offer wholesome entertainment and not be my personal showreels.
  • If my film doesn’t make money, it means people didn’t go watch it. So it doesn’t matter then that the critics loved it.
  • I don’t need to be on any micro-blogging site, because people don’t think about what they say there. At times, people abuse, and it is too harsh for me to handle
  • With each film, I try to outdo my previous films.
  • There are lots of things to do. Lots of movies to catch. Lots of places to visit… I try to bring in every real life experience into my acting.
  • ‘Rudhramadevi’ is a film which falls into a very new genre. It is a historic and biographic genre movie. It should be called a bio epic. I am curious to see how the audiences accept the film.
  • It’s difficult to maintain the six-pack abs. They demand a specific workout and diet plan. Even professional bodybuilders sport six-pack abs on and off.
  • I would love to explore my options in Tamil as well as Malayalam.
  • If a movie crosses budget and becomes a hit, no one cares. They care only when it doesn’t do well.

Arjun was stopped by police while driving once and asked to submit to a breathalyser test. But it is said that he refused to accept it and engaged the police in “argument.” When the footage of the alleged altercation between Arjun and the police went viral, the Tollywood star received harsh criticism. The actor then used his official Facebook page to both clarify the situation and express his displeasure with the way it had been handled.

He had a writing “Here is what transpired that evening in regards to the cops stopping my automobile in the video. The cops asked me to blow into the breathalyser, but I refused since I felt uneasy with all the cameras pointed at me. I did take the test after they were removed, and the cops let me go afterward. The footage was leaked by one of the media organisations, and it was altered in a very derogatory way.”

Further urging everyone to stop spreading false information, he said, “I don’t think Hyderabad police will allow anyone found driving while intoxicated without due action.”
