"Digitization and the advent of modern technologies do not mean that we lose touch with the grassroots. Our content has to be our strength as it is entrenched deeply in our vibrant cultural milieu,'' Mukherjee said after presenting the award for the best film to Marathi film 'Court', best actor to Vijaya Kumar B for Kannada film 'Nanu Avanalla Avalu' and best actress to Kangana Ranaut for 'Queen'.
