"Every year begins with a festive mood. For the past ten years, I've been steadily climbing the ladder of success as an actor. I've had consecutive successes. From Baahubali to Pushpa 2 and now Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, it's a matter of pride to see Telugu cinema making waves globally. I'm fortunate to be a part of this exciting industry, portraying diverse characters and entertaining audiences across various platforms."

"This year's releases like Game Changer, Daaku Maharaaj, and Sankranthiki Vasthunnam have all crossed the 100 crore mark, showcasing the power of Telugu cinema. I'm particularly thrilled about the success of Sankranthiki Vasthunnam. Anil Ravipudi is my favorite director, and I'm overjoyed that our film, produced by Dil Raju garu, is on its way to crossing 300 crores. The Chief Minister character I played in the film has resonated with audiences, and I'm delighted to start the year with such a big success. I hope this success continues for everyone in the industry."

"2025 is the busiest year of my career. I have nine films simultaneously in production, and all of them are fantastic projects. I'm playing lead roles in two of them. Last year's Veeranjaneyulu Viharayatra opened up new avenues for me on OTT platforms."

"I'm currently working on a hilarious film with Sharwanand as the hero, directed by Ram Abbaraju. I'm also part of exciting projects like Sundarakanda with Nara Rohith, Indraganti garu's Saranga Pani Jathakam, and a film with Ravi Teja garu. I'm playing the lead role in Beauty, produced by Maruthi Writings. Many more films are in the pipeline, each with a unique and diverse character. It's exciting to see both senior and young directors writing special roles for me. I'm working with young directors on almost seven films."

"I'm happy to have completed 52 successful years in the film industry. This wouldn't have been possible without my dedication to the craft, honesty, discipline, and the love and support of the audience. I thank the producers, writers, directors, and especially the audience and my fans for their unwavering support."

"Society has given me so much, and it's time to give back. This year, I've undertaken two major initiatives: a film museum and library, and a creative space for young people. We've started this in the name of Smt. Ghattamaneni Indira Devi garu, and it includes the Vijaya Krishna Mandir. My wife, Pavitra, and I have taken this up as a mission under the Kalaakarula Aikya Vedika organization. A building is already under construction. This is a lifetime project, and we'll share more details soon."

"Jandhyala garu, Krishna garu, and Vijaya Nirmala garu are my gurus. Without Jandhyala garu, I wouldn't be the actor I am today. He taught me the basics of filmmaking. To honor his contribution to cinema, we have started a dubbing and post-production theater named after him."

"We have created a wonderful book on Jandhyala garu, with the help of senior writer Sainath garu. We will be launching this book in a grand event at Ravindra Bharathi on February 20th, my mother's birthday."

"Cinema is my life; it gives me energy. I wish to be on set until my last breath."
