Meanwhile, the southern star says he is still trying to learn Hindi.

“I am still learning the language. It will take time. I try talking to my friends and relatives in Hindi. They keep correcting me. I am running around and planning to take tuitions,” he said.

Asked how does he manage to balance between south and Bollywood films, he said: “You have time for everything if you plan carefully. For me, both the industries are equally important.”
