I’m in love, but don’t ask more--Allu Arjun

Compared to Arya and Desamuduru, my characterization in Parugu is definitely a soft oneBut, I assure my fans and audience that, it will not disappoint them. They will surely like it to a great extent.Of course, dance is my forte, which will be there anyways.It also has stunts, but in tune with the subject.Subject is the king which rules the whole movie.It is a wonderful entertainer.

I came to know about Bhasker after Bommarillu.He holds immense talent.For a single scene, he would prepare a dozen versions.He is a man of hard work.He will definitely become one of the greatest directors of our time.

Q.What kind of audiences you are targeting?

A.I don't want to fix my audience into any category.I go by the subject.Script has to be good.Gangotri catered to the general audiences and masses.Arya was targeted at youth.

Q.What role does your father play in your cine-career?

A.He leaves me as an individual, just like the fathers of any other guys.I should climb and fall and realize the travails on my own.He takes care of general aspects like script.Once script is finalized, he would not involve further.He feels that he should not pressurize any one.

Q.Are you in the number game?

A.Yes! I am.Show me who is not in the number game.I know where I stand now.I want to go up and be among the top bracket.
I am in the rat race.I am running and I want to run well in the future too.

Q.How do you feel about Mani Sharma's music in Parugu?

A.This is my first film with Mani sharma.All the songs have come out well.And all of them are enjoyable.The tunes will catch up all.It has more melody than mass beats.

Q.Do you think you are losing something in your busy life as an actor?

A.No, everybody among us (film personalities) enjoys his life in his own way.I wonder how one can feel so being in such a glamorous profession.

Q.What are your hobbies?

A.Reading books, listening music, watching DVDs, play pool, pub hopping, catching up with cousins, and shopping to name a few.When I get some free time, I have lot many things to do.

Q.What kind of books do you read?

A.I read personality development books many times.
My all time favorite has been 'Who moved my cheese' by Dr.Spenser Johnson.

Q.Do you have any buddies in your contemporaries?

A.Prabhas, Tarun and all the heroes I interacted with are my friends.Allari Naresh has been my friend since before I entered the industry.

Q.Being a producer’s son, do you involve yourself in production activities of the film as well?

A.Being the son of a producer and a distributor, I obviously know a lot about production and distribution.Raju is a premiere distributor in Nizam.I do not have to be worried about theatres.He has got us the fantastic theatres all over.

Q.Can we expect you to produce a film? If it is so, with whom?

A.Why not? Definitely, I will produce films.
But when? I don't know exactly.If it happens, it will be with the heroes of our family.

Q.We recently heard of you going around.How do you feel being in love?

A.Everybody on this earth is prone to love.I personally believe that none on this earth is free from that feel.I am in love.But with whom, I can't say.And please don't ask.

The girl is certainly not from film background.
