No disappointment in not being selected as Best Director: Ranjith

Apr 6, 2010 NR

Cochin, Apr.6 (NR): Director Ranjith said that he was not at all disappointed at not being selected for the Best Director award.

"This is a jury's decision. While the Asianet, Vanitha and Mahtrubhoomi Awards were declared, I was the best director, but 'Pazhassi Raja' was the Best Film. So, as I said, its entirely a jury's decision," Ranjith said.

"The scritping of 'Palery Mainckyam' was the most difficult task. I spent more than seven months for it. The project had cent per cent support from Mammootty. I would hence like to dedicate this award to Mammootty, and the producers Subair and Anoop."

"I am happy that the film has gained recognition. All awards definitely inspire to move even further forward," the director said.

'Palery Manickyam' has bagged several honours at the State Awads this year including Best Film, Best Actor (Mammootty), Best Actress (Shwetha Menon), Best Makeup and Best Costume Design. Click the Movie button below for more info:
