People will watch your film only if it's good. Another star's flop won't make your film a hit. So my race is with myself.
— Allu Arjun
Life changed a lot after marriage. I am not the same person as before.
I keep myself away from people who talk badly about others.
Everything changes with time. I am not so experienced enough to analyze what the people love in me.
After the release of my first film 'Gangothri,' my father was so happy that he surprised me by buying me a swanky high-end car.
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.
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 used to party a lot before marriage.
There are two types of directors: the directors who take and directors who give.
If a movie crosses budget and becomes a hit, no one cares. They care only when it doesn't do well.
Dad never interferes in our personal matters. He is a very candid person and knows where to draw the line. He is always there for all of us in the family.
'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.
I am not an actor who enjoys negative comments on other heroes.
If we give something positive to others, it will return to us. If we give negative, that negativity will be returned.
I don't believe in awards, and I think only film fare awards are faring.
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.
