Cinema today has no boundaries; it has become pan-Indian, said Malayalam superstar Mohanlal as he dedicated the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, India’s highest cinematic honour, to Indian cinema and its audience.
The superstar credited the recognition to the collective efforts of the film industry and the unwavering support of viewers throughout his career. “This is not just my award; it belongs to Indian cinema. I thank God for this honour. Any work must be done with honesty and dedication, and many people helped me along the way. I share this recognition with all of them,” he said.
Mohanlal, who has completed 48 years in films, said he was fortunate to work alongside some of the greatest names in the industry, and their blessings were behind this honour.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and opposition leader YS Jagan Mohan Reddy extended congratulations to the actor. Celebrities including Mammootty, Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, among others, also sent their wishes.
