I was the eldest child, so I know how it feels to have attention shared with a sibling.

My dad never had a bank balance of more than three lakh and was always extremely compassionate towards his producers.

I had this inferiority complex as a child, as I was not good at speaking. I was also not good in studies or sports and would often flunk in four-five subjects.

My father came to Chennai at the age of 16 from a village in Coimbatore. He was an artist and was clear he wanted to do something, so he came to Chennai and joined an art course for eight years before he came into films.
