The
Star
Family
Status
Is
A
Blessing
For
Naga
Chaitanya
The
actor
added,
"I
don't
bear
any
pressure
since
I
come
from
a
star
family.
Initially,
I
may
have,
but
now
I
see
it
as
a
platform
that
many
people
wish
they
had.
I
take
it
as
a
blessing
and
work
towards
a
bright
future."
Chaitanya
Wants
To
Follow
In
His
Dad's
Footsteps
The
26-year
old,
who
has
starred
in
over
half
a
dozen
films,
wants
to
follow
in
his
dad's
footsteps
but
gradually.
"Dad
always
tells
me
to
do
a
variety
of
roles.
I
know
I
have
done
films
mostly
in
romance
and
action
genre
because
for
a
few
more
years
I
want
to
do
roles
I
will
be
comfortable
with.
I
don't
think
I'm
ready
yet
to
do
an
Annamayya
because
I
need
the
experience
to
pull
off
these
offbeat
roles," he
said.
Naga
Prefers
The
Script
Over
Box-Office
Numbers
With
hits
such
as
100%
Love
and
Ye
Maaya
Chesave
to
his
credit,
Chaitanya
says
he
prefers
the
script
over
box-office
numbers.
"A
Box-Office
number
is
good
for
a
producer
and
the
industry
to
keep
the
turnover
game
on,
but
as
an
actor
I
give
importance
to
script.
I
will
turn
down
a
script,
even
if
it
guarantees
Rs
100
crore,
when
I'm
not
convinced
with
it,"
he
said.
Naga
Makes
Suggests
To
Attract
Viewers
He
added,
"When
I
like
a
script,
I
take
effort
to
add
some
commercial
elements
such
that
it
does
good
business.
I
tell
my
director
and
make
small
changes
that
will
attract
audiences
to
come
and
watch
the
film
more
than
once."
Naga
Has
Lot
Of
Respect
For
His
Seniors
Having
spent
close
to
five
years
in
filmdom,
he
has
realised
that
"the
industry
only
appears
glamorous
on
the
outside,
but
it's
hard
on
the
inside.
It's
made
of
so
many
people
and
all
deserve
their
due
importance.
I
have
learnt
to
respect
my
seniors
because
I'm
here
because
of
them".
Naga
Is
No
Stranger
To
Controversies
He
says,
"I
find
it
funny
to
read
about
these
things.
I
don't
mind
reading,
but
I
would
come
forward
and
clear
the
air
if
there
is
some
serious
misunderstanding."
Chaitanya
Has
No
Bollywood
Aspirations
Unlike
other
Southern
heroes,
Chaitanya
currently
has
no
Bollywood
aspirations.
"Honestly,
my
heart
is
in
Telugu
for
now.
I'm
interested
to
branch
out
to
Tamil
because
I
know
the
language.
If
Bollywood
happens,
it
will
be
a
bonus,
but
I'm
not
working
towards
a
career
in
it,"
he
added.
Chaitanya's
Upcoming
Projects
Chaitanya
is
awaiting
the
release
of
Telugu
action-drama
Autonagar
Surya
while
shooting
for
Telugu
family
comedy
Manam.
He
also
has
a
Telugu
film
each
with
directors
Sreenivas
Reddy
and
Vijay
Kumar
Konda
in
the
offing.
