When I began acting, my biggest fear was whether the audience will appreciate the kind of films I do.

FAHADH FAASILIt feels good to hear good things about yourself.
FAHADH FAASILI thoroughly enjoyed shooting for ‘Velaikkaran,’ and I made a great friend in Sivakarthikeyan during the process. Also, it was wonderful working with director Mohan Raja. I have not seen a director who takes so much effort to get things the best way possible.
FAHADH FAASILI often see only my mistakes. I always feel I could have done better. Every artist goes through it.
FAHADH FAASILI want my films to make money first. Awards and all can come later.
FAHADH FAASILThere are two kinds of films: the ones that are devoid of logic but can still hijack the audience, and those that can win them over with logic. Both kinds can succeed, and I like to work in both.
FAHADH FAASILI would like to look funny on screen, doing comedy.
FAHADH FAASILI’ve done only things I’ve liked, and I’m happy that others have liked them, too. I hope it keeps going that way. But l would never want to do films which please just one set of audience; they should connect with everyone.
FAHADH FAASILI like movies made by Spike Lee – doing those films out of the U.S., that is really daring.
FAHADH FAASILI never wanted to be an actor but ended up being one.
FAHADH FAASILThe closest encounter I had with films in my childhood was sitting on the lap of my father at a shooting set, and he would say ‘rain,’ and it started raining, and then he would say ‘song,’ and people started dancing. I thought I was sitting on God’s lap.
FAHADH FAASILMohan Raja is an interesting filmmaker. He is constantly, if I may use the word, contradicting himself. He explains a scene, and then he will try to break that and rebuild it. That, to me, is filmmaking. Every scene is constructed after a lot of discussions.
FAHADH FAASILWhen you are talking about human emotions, stardom doesn’t matter.
FAHADH FAASILI’ve always wanted to do a role based on a real-life person.
FAHADH FAASILI listened to the script of ‘Carbon’ at the end of 2014. I liked it the moment I heard it. I wanted to do it.
FAHADH FAASILOffscreen, I’m a private person. I’m shy and don’t know how to face the public.
