As a youngster growing up in Hassan, with no filmi connections, I harboured dreams of getting into showbiz. Body-building was a passion and I knew it would help me to fulfill my dream to some extent. I used to work out religiously and participated at several college- and district-level competitions. My parents, though, were not keen that I follow body-building, as they thought it would mess up my diet and that I would gain weight once I gave it up. Instead, they urged me to get into a government job. I told them that I would need to have computer skills to apply for a job and headed to Mysuru, where I joined the theatre institute Rangayana. I trained for a few months with C Basavalingaiah and under his tutelage did several plays with senior artistes, from whom I learnt a great deal.

I did not go home even once during this time, claiming that I had a lot of computer class work to finish. Once I left Rangayana, I continued doing plays with a bunch of friends and travelled across the state. I realized that I needed to take the next step and get into television, and looked for opportunities. I met director Ravi Garani in the hope of getting a small role in his upcoming serial. But he decided to give me my first big break and chose me to play the lead in Krishna Rukmini. I was taken aback and asked him to give me a small role instead. But he insisted, saying that he was confident I could pull it off and wondered why I did not feel the same way.

The show was a big hit and I did about 250 episodes. This set the ball rolling, after which I got to work on the show Balu Aparoopa Nam Jodi. Around this time, I got a call from director Sharat Khadri asking me to do a screen test for his film Mareyelaare.

When we met, he got me to do different things for about 45 minutes. A couple of days later, they called to discuss further details and get into a formal agreement. When I agreed to do this film, I had no clue about Sharat's earlier troubles in trying to make it.

Even when he started the project with me and Pavitra, there were schedule breaks when he had issues with funds, but he never let either of us know about his troubles and just looked at completing the film. In fact, this month marks two years since I committed to Mareyalaare. I believe that this film is the perfect debut for me. At its core, Mareyalaare is a love story and sees me playing a fun-loving guy. There is no villain as such in the story, but there are situations that put a spanner in the works. How he faces these situations forms the crux of the tale. Most importantly, the story is the hero of this film and, hence, it gives me a lot of scope to perform.

In fact, several sequences depend more on my expressions ' both on my face and body language ' than dialogues. There are several sequences that audiences will be able to relate to, especially the climax, which is likely to stay with them.
