“This award is special because this is my seventh National Award. My first National Film Award was for the film ‘Roja’ with Mani Ratnam. This film is also with him. Whenever I work with him it is very special, he gets the best out of all of us. And since it’s a National award, I’m really proud of it,” he said.
