I have carried the burden of my dad's image since day one. They never see me as just another guy trying to make his career in the film industry. I am always 'Megastar' Chiranjeevi's son first, and Ram Charan only later.

I am just an artiste, and I like to explore new avenues.

TV and films are same for me. I took a decision to be an actor, and I am an actor. I never decided to be TV actor or film actor.

He was a very strict father, which in a way has helped me to become who I am today. He never pampered me, as he wanted me to live a normal life. No film magazines were allowed at home, and we weren't allowed to watch any movies.

We all know that one can never recreate the magic of an original film.

I am not that big a method actor.
