Discussing food with friends

The 'Mirai' star also mentioned that he enjoys chatting with friends about food and taking short breaks in between to get a bite."I am a massive foodie; given my way, I would eat anything and everything. Between shots, I sit and discuss food with my friends (and co-stars) like Getup Seenu and Satya," he added.For him, comfort food has its own magic. "There's just something magical about mudda pappu and pulusu (dal and stew)."
