This moment is not mine alone; it is also of the entire Malayalam cinema fraternity. I see this award as a collective tribute to our industry, creativity, legacy, and resilience. When I first received the news from the state, I was overwhelmed, not really by the honour, but by the privilege to carry forward the voice of our cinematic tradition,” he further continued.
