I think Hyderabadis have the best sense of humour in the entire country and I still remember the famous plays of 'Adrak Ke Panje' by Babban Khan and 'Dhed Matwale.'

Being the son or daughter of a legendary film personality you get more respect.

I enjoy voicing even though I am not a voice-over artist.

There is a very thin line when a man plays woman. If you're not careful, you may end up looking like a eunuch. If you don't enact your role properly, you can look very bad.

I have been successful in comic roles and people think that is all that I can do.

I would love to break away from my comic image.

Acting is my first love.

Song, dance and cinema are so deeply within the Indian culture and with so many cultures incorporating their elements too, it has become a wonderful collage.

Politics for me is not business but a movement of which I am happy to be a part.

I don't know how one can differentiate between comedies. A burger is a burger and though it may taste differently in different food joints, the fact remains that it is still a burger. It's the same with comedies.

When we make a comedy film, its important to have a light atmosphere on the sets so that the mood reflects in the film.

While there are different genres of comedy, I am for family entertainment.
