Many Hindi films that are Tamil remakes rake in huge moolah in Bollywood.

I have maintained a low profile throughout my career but have always done things in my own unique way, be it dancing or dressing up. On the dance floor, I had my own unique steps and often had to lead my choreographer.

I get emotional when young people get nostalgic about my work. That's why it's called nostalgia. Sometimes I even cry.

You become megastars when superstars start reprising your roles.

My fan following is intact. They only like to see me in movies, which I am still doing for them. I do not need to do any long interviews or chat shows.

I came into the industry as an actor. And moved on to become a star with the help of my dancing skills.

I would say the film world has stopped operating as one. We have divided it into Hindi movies, Bengali movies, Tamil movies and so on. Earlier, there was only one channel and we all knew what was going on. Today, it is hard to keep track of programmes due to the advent of regional channels.
