While I did not get any formal training in acting, every summer vacation, from the age of five, my father would take me to Ooty with him, and I would do films as a child star. I did over 10 films like that, and it was understood that post finishing my education, I would become an actor.

My father is an amazing person.

A lot of things and a lot of money is involved in a movie. It is very upsetting when a movie doesn't fare well at the box-office.

'Srimanthudu' is a film very close to my heart. It's my first production, and I'm more than happy with its performance at the box office.

Whenever I deliver a hit, I can see a glow on my father's face. Sometimes, I think he turns 10 to 15 years younger when I deliver a hit.

From my childhood, I am like this. I never go parties and attend functions.

I am very close to my brother Ramesh Babu. When my father was away for shootings, my brother would take care of me, and I am very close to him, and yes, Dad's always special.

When I am shooting a film, and it has a big schedule, I make sure that I take a week off with the family. It gives you new energy.

On the clothes front, I have a designer who sits with the director for each film to chalk out a look for me based on the script.

I prefer to believe it's my responsibility if a film of mine works or doesn't work.
