There's
no
denying
the
fact
that
the
versatile
Kishore
is
one
of
the
biggest
and
most
talented
actors
in
South
cinema
today.
A
popular
name
in
all
the
four
major
industries,
he
enjoys
a
decent
fan
following
thanks
to
his
versatility
as
a
performer,
good
looks
and
gripping
screen
presence.
He
is
also
held
in
high
regard
because
of
his
humble
nature
and
tendency
to
keep
a
low
profile.
Today
(August
14,
2018),
on
Kishore's
birthday,
we
present
before
you
edited
excerpts
of
Filmibeat's
latest
exclusive
interview
with
the
actor.
You
have
been
pretty
vocal
about
a
host
of
citizen
issues.
What
is
the
one
thing
you
would
want
to
change
about
today's
lifestyle?
I
think
that
all
of
us
have
given
in
to
the
western
culture
and
consumerism.
This
is
something
that
needs
to
change.
We
really
need
to
stop
being
consumers
and
start
caring
for
the
environment.
You
are
not
too
active
on
the
social
media.
What's
the
reason
for
this?
How
do
you
react
to
the
menace
of
trolling
people
on
the
social
media?
I
am
not
too
active
on
the
social
media,
as
I
don't
have
a
lot
to
talk
about.
Trolling
is
bound
to
happen
if
we
misuse
the
freedom
associated
with
social
media.
One
has
to
be
more
responsible.
There
is
a
line
of
thought
that
'everyone
who
lives
in
Karnataka
must
speak
Kannada'.
What
is
your
reaction
to
this
POV?
That's
a
tricky
question.
However,
this
situation
too
is
a
result
of
consumerism
and
the
related
phenomena
of
migration.
What
are
the
differences
between
the
four
major
South
Indian
industries?
There
are
some
minor
differences.
In
the
Malayalam
and
Tamil
industries,
there
is
a
strong
connect
between
literature
and
cinema.
In
the
Tamil
film
industry,
the
Dravidian
movement
has
kept
the
culture
intact.
In
Kannada,
the
films
are
very
city-centric
and
don't
reflect
the
culture.
The
Telugu
industry
is
very
hero-centric.
Even
someone
like
Praveen
Sattaru
has
to
eventually
work
with
a
star.
You
are
a
part
of
the
independent
film
'My
Son
Is
Gay'
that
is
winning
a
lot
of
hearts.
People
are
curious
to
know
why
you
took
up
the
film.
I
took
up
the
film
because
of
my
friend
Anupama
Kumar,
I
trust
her
choices.
It
is
a
film
that
deals
with
a
sensitive
issue
in
such
a
way
that
even
people
with
an
orthodox
mindset
will
like
it.
Lastly,
what
is
your
mantra
for
dealing
with
setbacks
and
failures?
The
simple
funda
is
to
live
light
and
have
few/low
expectations
from
life.
