Jumping from one rock to another, scaling walls or any man-made height without any aid, Raju truly lives up to his nick name `monkey king`. He does it all to draw visiting tourists` attention at the Chitradurga Fort.

Look at what Kothi Raja has said in his first Kannada film:

· I have become Kothi Raja by pledging my life.

· I have not accepted this film for money sake. I have accepted because my life story is the script for the film.

· From the money I earn I give education to students. I want one my students to reach Olympics of 2020.

· Novu and Kushi are part of my life.

· I have received 28 fractures in life. When I was lifting bodies from Jog Falls my right shoulder dislocated. Keeping the body in one hand I adjusted my bones to reach the top.

· I don`t want someone to touch me. I have aversion to girls.

· Acting is also new to me. Tell me to climb hills and rocks 500 times; I would do but not other work.

· A man can also do like a monkey is what I want to show.

· I was offered a place in Tamil Nadu, jobs in Discovery Channel.

· I don`t leave Karnataka because it has given food for me when I was in hunger.

· I use my skill for Olledakke and keep olletana till my last breath.

· Each one in the house should be skilful. Mane Maga can be a Maga of Desha too.

· For my first film I asked for Utility Building to climb – highest in Bangalore. I expected at least Visveswaraya tower. Finally I got Moti Mahal – this is where stalwarts Dr Raj, Rajanikanth lived once.

· I do not see at how much I climbed, I only see at how much I have to climb.

· My life ambition is to climb `Burj Khalifa` in Dubai. 828 meters, 1730 feet that has163 floors.

· I have studied I standard and after that looking after buffalos.
