"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," he added.
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.
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.
