The Kalaimamani award brings with it more responsibility
Coming at a time like this, 20 years (of his journey in the industry) and with lots on the anvil, this one (the award) is really encouraging and brings with it more responsibility. I was happy to be at the event, which was so well organised by the government. It was really nice and humbling to meet folk artistes, musicians, and interact with my fellow artistes.

‘I’m thankful to those who introduced me’
I’m very grateful to the government for this wonderful recognition. I am also very thankful to the people who introduced me in the industry Gangai Amaren sir, Pandiarajan sir, Prabhu Deva master and also Bala sir. A big, big thank you to them from the bottom of my heart. They made me whatever I am today. I dedicate this award to them. I flew down to Chennai for a day to receive this award and returned to Hyderabad, where I am shooting for a Telugu film.
