Mohanlal presents Padmarajan awards
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Recalling the rare privilege of working alongside P Padmarajan, actor Mohanlal said his works have stood the test of time. He was speaking at the 34th Padmarajan Award ceremony, held at Tagore Theatre and jointly organised by Air India Express and the Padmarajan Trust.
'It was mine and Mammootty's good fortune to be part of films made by filmmakers like Padmarajan and I V Sasi. Those films made us who we are today. I consider it a blessing to have acted in five of Padmarajan's films. His works, like Thoovanathumbikal, are still being discussed more today than at the time of their release which is a proof of how timeless they are. When a creator's work endures across decades, it is the greatest fulfilment an artist can receive,' said Mohanlal.
The award ceremony coincided with the 80th birth anniversary of Padmarajan. The event also honoured the many technical collaborators who worked with him over the years.
