In Hollywood, the heroes perform differently in each film they make. But they can afford to do so as they make one movie every two or three years. They have time for that. But here, I have to make at least three films a year. My physique gets weaker due to such sudden weight gains and subsequently starving myself to get thin. But I have to do justice to the money that I earn. I should have job satisfaction. 'He performs well' is the comment that I yearn to hear from people. When I see the end result in the screen, all the difficulties I went through is forgotten. For this feeling, I can do anything.
My forte is cinema alone. I
can sing. I never experienced any difficulties in singing for the album, "Kadhalism". Even Kamal's voice is not that great. But it would convey the emotions as they should be. For a new picture, I have sung alongside Shankar Mahadevan who is one of the best singers in India. Despite the fact that I am not qualified to sing a chorus song even, my voice has mingled well with his voice as it is able to convey the required emotion.
I will never opt myself for the profession of singing. I am a professional bathroom singer. In fact I did sing the climax of O Podu from Gemini and title song of one film Sri. I will sing for other heroes’ films but not for my film. I usually prefer soft music and slow music... like Bryan Adams.
But I will never refuse to sing in the event of suitable chances. I will definitely accept songs modeled on the lines of 'Strawberry Kanne' of Minsara Kanavu. The song should be something like a piece of conversation. The song 'Strawberry Kanne' might have come out better had Prabhu Deva sung it in full instead of merely uttering the dialogue 'Nose than konjam Oversizaa irukku' in the middle of the song. The voice of the song might not have changed if the actor himself had rendered both the lyrical lines and the dialogue. So, I will be singing when I land upon such chances.
I can play the guitar a bit. I like painting. Gardening is most dear to my heart. Once I come out of shooting, I would like to forget about cinema. That is why I built my house in Besant Nagar and not in Kodambakkam. Long time ago, on the sets of Meera, I once helped to lift up a light. One of the unit members said you will change after 2 films turn out to be hits. There is only one actor who still acts the same, and that is Mohanlal. I told him, just watch out, after 10 years, I will be the same. These simple things that I do on the sets are nothing, because that’s how much craze I have for cinema.
