Darshan, Best Actor at State Film Awards, credits team for the win

The period film Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna has transformed Kannada star Darshan's career. The film won him his first ever Best Actor Award for his role at the Filmfare, at Suvarna Awards and at the Bangalore Times Film Awards for the year 2012. Now, it has won him his first ever State Film Award and quite naturally, the actor is thrilled with the win.
Darshan took to his microblogging site to thank all those involved with the project that helped him win.
“This magical moment can be attributed mainly to the Producer of KVSR, Anand Appugol. He is the main hero for this movie. Without him, KVSR wouldn't have been such a success. Hats off to all the technicians who have given their heart out for the movie. From the unit boy to the director, all of them are equally responsible for this,” he tweeted.
Darshan also dedicated his first ever award to all the onscreen villains, including his father, of the Kannada film industry. "All legendary villains of KFI (Thoogudeepa Srinivas, Prabhakar, Dinesh, Sudhir, Musuri Krishnamurthy, SundarKrishna Aras, Dheerendra Gopal, Shakti Prasad etc) who haven’t received the State Award, this award is dedicated to all of them from all their sons/daughters.”
He also added, “Last but not the least, I thank all my fans. You people have always been the source of inspiration for me to perform better and entertain everyone. Will always give my best to entertain you all.”
