I've been reading a lot of books on history, and watching a lot of educational TV. Wikipedia too, even though it is not reliable.

The idea is to do out-of-the-box films that showcase my versatility and talent.

Class I to XII wasn't much help; I was always a mediocre student. But when I pursued higher education and studied economics with theatre or psychology with science fiction, I got a whole new world view.

To me, the trick is not how can I make people laugh. It is, how can I make people laugh in a different way.

Comedy comes from confusion.

Chennai is one of the scariest crowds to face. Everyone looks so conservative, but once you crack the first joke, they are so appreciatively loud that they will hit you with a laugh that will scare you stiff and yet give you energy. Chennaiites give me the loudest laughs; it's the coolest crowd to perform for.
