The filmmaker has been showing off his arty work ��� a film titled Kanchivaram ��� to many greats who���ve demanded a screening of the motion picture. And the latest to have had a dekko of it is Shyam Benegal. Post the screening, Shyam sent a personalised note to Priyan.It read: ���Kanchivaram was a deeply moving experience. The story reminded me of the kind of narratives that Victor Hugo or Leo Tolstoy would have written. Excellent performances and enviable control in direction. I admire your ability to be highly creative, professional and prolific - all at the same time. My hats off to you.��� And this personal note, Priyan says is close to his heart and a consideration of true achievement.
