I get emotionally attached with every film I do, and that stops me from being critical. I can't fight my emotions.

I made shorts films, learning the dos and don'ts. Most importantly, I've been editing all these short films. Nothing can teach you filmmaking like editing can.

My dream is to become a director. I want to direct a Hindi film. I have two scripts ready. One of them is a fantasy-adventure, while the other is a thriller. I've assisted my brother Selvaraghavan, who's a well-known director in Tamil cinema. I've also made short films.

I took up acting upon the insistence of my filmmaker father, Kasthuri Raja. But I am glad for it: sometimes one identifies one's calling; sometimes it singles one out.

I can't complain about my life. I have a really nice life. I have a great family and I live in a gorgeous part of the country.

My dad was always a great talker on the microphone, so I tried to learn a lot from him in that way, and he's very old-school. He built the wrestling family that we have.

I do realize that God has given me so many blessings in my life. I mean, not only with football, but with the family that He's blessed me with and the opportunity He's given me to grow up in a home that embraces God.

My family is the epicenter of my life.
