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

Relationship humour gets the most laughs. If I'm able to get the women laughing, men will have to laugh along because they would be scared to death.

I do films which get me out of my comedian routine so that I don't get bored being a stand-up comedian. And with films, it's here today, gone tomorrow. So stand-up comedy is here to stay for me.

I feel like I share a great relationship with my audience where they trust my judgment and choice of films and sense of comedy.

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.

Women do come up to me after a show, but it's usually to say, 'Yhank you for making us laugh,' and all that.

I'm a stand-up comedian-turned-actor-turned-vampire at night.
