But I love cinema. I achieved whatever I can in business. My first love is movies. My goal is to touch people's hearts and make them smile.
Talking about his son Vikram Sahidev, he confessed- "Vikram has been facing camera since childhood. He asked me and acted in Race Gurram when he was in 6th grade. He has a passion to act. He is self disciplined and punctual. I also received good feedback about him from the producers, directors and technicians who worked with him. I didn't pull him into films. He did this out of passion".
Finally opening up about the target audience of the film Virgin Story he said- "Virgin Story is an urban audience movie. It will be loved by the people who are born after 1995. This film is the reflection of today's urban society. Target audience for this film are the students".
