1. You do talk good tamil, but at certain interviews you answer in English. Why is that so?
Kamal is a pampered technocrat. He has to keep up with his daughter who was educated in the US, right?
2. Who do you aspire to be like in acting and dancing. Any idol from the holly?
Acting-Sivaji Ganesan. In tamil movies, every one from a barber to a follower of Amritanandmayee dances well. Holly-Francis Ford Cappola.
3. do you have plans to accerlate in hollywood?
Stop dreaming of an oscar for me. Is an oscar an ultimate award for an Indian actor? Hollywood is discriminatory and allows me to participate only as a foreigner, not an American. Does acting in Hollywood mean that only they make excellant movies? I wish I could create something like the Cannes Film festival in Chennai and give a top prize for a movie that's shows cinematic excellence. After that we can all participate in Hollywood.
4. Which actor do you think is closest to matching your amazing acting talent?
Sivaji Ganesan.
5. You were once said to be having affair with Simran and kept her company during her sister's dead in a pub. Why did't you send her back at the first flight?
My mind went from shock to gloom in no time. One can detach themselves from tragedy, not tears or fears.
6. Do you think LUCK played a major role in making you successful in the industry?
Nope. I am 53 now. I need 40 more years in the film industry to make films. Is taking every Sunday off called luck? Which star has taken a break for an year? Yours truly.
7. There are rumours you are going to join with Rajini for a movie together. how true is this?
That will happen. Both of us are scared of the expectations.
8. For what did you enter this industry for Money or Fame?
My father wanted me to be a singer. I was very reluctant to become an actor. Now I enjoy it too much to give it up. There are different stages when I am in a lot of debt and have to work to clear those debts.
9. What is your secret behind to look young?
Sometimes I run ten miles. On other days, learning fighting skills to perform scenes itself is a good workout.
10. Which comedy actor & actress of this generation do you think can be called the 2nd generation of Nagesh & Manorama?
Vadivelu and Arthy.
