I don’t attend parties. After the day’s shoot, I go home and spend time with my family. I never take my work home, and neither do I involve my family in work. Ravi Teja Read Quote
Audiences like me doing action and comedy. I am a jovial person and have been so from childhood. I like to laugh my way through my work, and that attitude reflects in my roles. Even women hate me doing rona-dhona roles. So I don’t do emotional films. Ravi Teja Read Quote
Telugu-Tamil producer Thyagarajan has bought the South Indian language rights for two Hindi hit films, Vikas Behl’s ‘Queen’ and Neeraj Pandey’s ‘Special 26.’ He wants me to play Akshay Kumar’s role in the Telugu version of ‘Special 26.’ Akshay and I even look similar, physique-wise.

I’m shy by nature and don’t like talking about myself, and would let my films do the talking. Ravi Teja Read Quote
We all do films believing in them completely, but sometimes, the audiences like what we like, and other times, they don’t. Ravi Teja Read Quote
It’s not fair that people wrote that all of my films had not done well. There were a few films like ‘Nippu,’ ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ and ‘Sarostaru’ which were really bad. But, ‘Veera’ and ‘Dharuvu’ had done well. Strangely, people have added them to my ‘flop list.’ Ravi Teja Read Quote
I seek speed, clarity, and a practical approach in people I mingle and work with. I can’t see myself working in films that stretch beyond maximum four months. Ravi Teja Read Quote
I’ve struggled a lot to get where I am. I initially got rejected by every producer. But no complaints. I enjoyed each and every moment of the struggle. My first break came in 1997 from Krishna Vamsi and then Puri Jagannadh, who is my closest friend. I owe everything I am to him. Our careers have evolved simultaneously. Ravi Teja Read Quote
I experimented with different roles, but they didn’t work, despite being fantastic films like ‘Naa Autograph,’ ‘Sambo Siva Sambo,’ ‘Neninthe’… etc. I was very satisfied doing those roles. Had those films worked for me, I perhaps would not have tried anything different further. I like to experiment once in a while if it works. Ravi Teja Read Quote
