RAM CHARAN

I had never danced all my life until I shot for my first song in 'Chirutha.'

Every father and son have conflicts.

My dad was more tensed than I was a day before the release. Having learned that 'Bruce Lee' has released to the highest openings in my career, he has settled down.

'Magadheera' is a lovely film which can't be recreated.

The moment we finished shooting for 'Bruce Lee,' my wife Upasana reminded of a pending holiday.

Whether I do an original film, a dance, or a remake of my dad's hit songs, I have always been compared to him.

The sky takes on shades of orange during sunrise and sunset, the colour that gives you hope that the sun will set only to rise again.

I told my parents that I will marry any girl they choose for me. They also told me that they are open to considering any girl I choose. We were very open about it throughout.

I have to give importance to my personal life, my family, parents, and sisters. I hope I can strike the right balance.

It was a deliberate decision to act in family entertainers like 'Govindudu Andari Vadele' and 'Bruce Lee.'

My marks were always bad, and I was a bad influence on other children, so they would explain to my mother that they could retain me only by being partial towards me, and so I should offer to leave the school myself. I would barely get 40-50% and was also extremely naughty.

I definitely want to work in Hindi films.

I am a Bruce Lee fan. I may be my fans' hero, but even heroes have their heroes. And mine is Bruce Lee.

I was pampered by all my father's directors and producers during childhood. But at home, my father made sure I led a normal life.

I don't think 'Magadheera' should be remade, nor do I think it will be remade. It is very difficult to recreate the same magic.

Better a decent remake than a bad original, don't you think?

I don't think I can play Mr. Bachchan.

I won't do a role which children in my family cannot look up to.

I love shopping, but I can't go out. I love going to restaurants and eating out with friends.

The audiences love to see me fight on screen.

My family never had a business background. We are artistes.

Not once did I feel pressurised that I was stepping into Mr. Bachchan's shoes. I don't say I didn't feel the pressure of starring in a remake of 'Zanjeer,' but somewhere, that worked to my advantage.

Krishna Vamsi is a very good director.

It has been a great working experience with Sreenu Vaitla.

I have carried the burden of my dad's image since day one. They never see me as just another guy trying to make his career in the film industry. I am always 'Megastar' Chiranjeevi's son first, and Ram Charan only later.
