Gopichand says it all

In a chat with Hyderabad Times, action hero Gopichand talks about work, friends and almost everything you wanted to know!
Gopichand says it all
In contrast to his action hero image on-screen, new-age star Gopichand comes across as polite and very soft-spoken in real life.
He punctuates every sentence with a warm smile, sounds very sure of what he wants out of life and seems optimistic about the future. He���������������������������s just signed Golimaar with filmmaker Puri Jagannath and confesses that, ���������������������������working with a big league director is like a dream come true for me,��������������������������� he confesses.

Gopi sounds equally excited about his Sankam, ���������������������������a perfect blend of action and comedy.��������������������������� The former baddie-turned-hero was hailed as an action star after Yagnam, but he gradually blended ���������������������������comedy��������������������������� to his kick-butt roles. ���������������������������That���������������������������s the best way to reach out to a wider section of the audience,��������������������������� he reasons.
While he stalked Trisha in Varsham, he romances the hottie in his new film. ���������������������������Of course, both roles are different. Trisha is a professional and talented co-star,��������������������������� he says. Has his tough image, restrained him from doing lover boy roles? ���������������������������You���������������������������d be surprised to know that girls like macho stars who do action films. Anyway all my films have a romantic angle, so I don���������������������������t think I am missing out on anything,��������������������������� he avers.
His close friendship with colleague Prabhas is the talk of Tollywood. Is it possible for two actors to be good friends beyond films? ���������������������������We know each other for more than a decade and share good vibes. Nothing can come between a genuine friendship.���������������������������
We also hear that he���������������������������s got friends from outside the film industry with whom he parties a lot. ���������������������������Just because I don���������������������������t appear too much on page 3, it doesn���������������������������t mean that I���������������������������m not partying. I hate the loud music in pubs and prefer to party at quieter places.���������������������������

And no, six-pack abs for this actor for now. ���������������������������Not now,��������������������������� he says and elaborates, ���������������������������if acquiring six-pack abs can make a film successful, I am ready to do it, but not otherwise. If I am doing an action flick like say Rocky, I would definitely try and work on my body. Otherwise, I think I am in perfect shape for an actor.���������������������������
