Karthikeya is 'bundle of nerves'

Young sensation Karthikeya, who is pinning big hopes on his upcoming film 'Hippi,' is all excited and bundle of nerves. "After 'RX 100,' I was in dilemma on what to do next. But I was very much sure not to repeat myself. Interestingly, 'Hippi' came to me.

It is something that everyone can relate to. Probably, I might have more footage, hence I may be considered as hero of 'Hippi.' Otherwise, every role has equal importance," he adds. He claims that he is still to come to terms with the massive of success of 'RX 100'. "I am yet to come to terms with 'RX 100's success. It's been eleven months, and I am yet to adjust to the fame, recognition.

At times, I forget and step out as I used to do so before, but after realizing people's love, I realize that the life has changed," he informs. He claims to be dreaming of becoming an actor from his childhood. "It has been my childhood dream. As I've seen heroes on big screen in larger-than-life roles, I can't see myself as a hero. Frankly, I don't see myself as a hero and I believe I don't have fans.

People have liked me and my role in 'RX 100'. That's all I can say," he says, humbly. Talking about his other films, he adds, "Actually, 'Hippi' 'Guna 369' and 'Gang Leader' are very crucial in my career. 'Guna 369' is different from what I have done till date. And the role I play in 'Gang Leader' is like a life-time opportunity. It is quite exciting to work with a star like Nani.

He has become a good friend of mine," On taking off his shirt on stage recently, "First things first. I feel my body is great. Apart from that, taking off shirt has connection to the role I play in 'Hippi.' If I do such act for 'Guna 369' or 'Gang Leader' then I could be wrong. But removing my shirt on stage has direct connection to 'Hippi.' It's part of our promotional strategy," he signs off.
