Filmmakers often tell me to watch the original version. I never do.

My daughter Fathima is a bigger comedian than me. She makes me laugh all the time.

When I am dubbing for my character, if I laugh at the figure on the screen, I know I have done well.

If a film works, you get more offers, appreciation and the latter is like oxygen. We survive on that.

I am lucky I got roles where I worked for just seven days and made equal impact with the hero who worked for 70 days.

I love my role in 'Deshamuduru' but I did not get any award.

It was director Krishna Reddy who introduced me as a hero. All my films with him have been very successful.

A comedian's career span is five or 10 years. I am lucky to have worked with so many distinguished actors and their grandsons.

In real life, I am a very sensitive person as l lived alone in Chennai for 15 years without my family. I always remember that phase of my life.

I've been donating all the money I earn from the TV shows to a charitable trust.
