Speaking on this occasion the fourth time national award winning actor Prakash Raj said getting such national honor is more than any remuneration. I know that I am the best actor for only that year films. In film media actor is not the cinema. It is only the director who brings in everything needed for the film. Pointing to the cinema in culture of the people Prakash Raj said it should be cultivated with joint effort.
