Anupam
Sir,

a
global

the
more
we
say,
it
always
falls
short.
He
is
pure
GENIUS.
Ahaana,
a

did
exceptionally
well.
Also,
Prasad
is
an
extremely
talented
Director
and
was
also
nominated
for
best
director!
He
knows
his
craft
fully
&
has
a
great
future.
He
has
done
wonders
&
will
go
places.
So
excited
for
receiving
this
honour
with
the
well
knitted
Happy
Birthday
team."
