Today it feels like an acknowledgment of all these years of my work… doing this beautiful thing, I get to call my job. For Jayabharathi and Susan Bobby. Thank you @vipindashb and @krishand_ and the incredible teams that I got to work with in Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey and Purusha Pretham. So so grateful that I got to be part of these beautiful films.
