I started admiring him the very first time I watched him on screen, in the film Leader.

The very first time I met him in an unexpected situation. He made it very special for me. Also, the way he always responds to my tweets.

I love the way he lives each and every character that he plays and the way he transforms himself; from a trendsetting politician in Leader to a ruling villain in Baahubali and then to a super cool navy officer in Ghazi. Not to forget his strong commanding voice, which mesmerises me.
