This award belongs to the entire Malayalam industry. I see this award as a collective tribute to our industry, legacy, and creativity. When I received this news, I was overjoyed, not just because I was being honored, but because I was chosen to carry forward our cinematic voice. It's my good fortune that fate has given me this opportunity to accept this award on behalf of all those who have shaped the Malayalam industry with their vision and artistry. Honestly, I never even dreamed of this moment."
