For
Sanchari Vijay, the National Awards ceremony was an exciting time, where he had makers from Telugu, Tamil and Bengali film industries telling him that they would love to work with him. Vijay won the National Award for Best Actor for his film Naanu Avanalla Avalu. Coincidentally, the film Harivu, which has him in the lead, won the award for Best Kannada film. The icing on the cake for him was when
Kangana Ranaut, who won the Best Actress award for Queen, evinced interest in seeing his films and asked him about their release.
Vijay was quite honest when he told her that he himself had no clue when they would release, since they have to battle with the commercial entertainers for screens.
