Q) The word GST is replaced with EMI in one of the songs, did you face any problems from censor board?
A) No. As an individual everyone has their own opinion but coordinating every department and running the country is not a small task. Our intention is not to project GST is wrong way but due to a major controversy raised due to a recent film, censor board has asked to replace it with an alternative word.
Q) Any plans to direct a film?
A) No. As of now, I’m happy as an actor, musician, and editor. Many directors are coming up with good scripts and am liking them. So there is no idea to enter into direction.
Q) When can we expect a straight Telugu film?
A) Very soon. I’m listening to scripts and will make it as soon as possible.
Q) Upcoming projects?
A) As of now, I’m doing two projects in Tamil and will let you know complete details soon.
