The State Award is just a big bonus: Prithviraj

This year's Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor going to Prithviraj was hardly any surprise as the actor brought forth his back-to-back career best performances in Ayaalum Njanum Thammil and Celluloid, in which he played Malayalam cinema's doyen JC Daniel to perfection.
About winning the state award for the second time in his career, Prithviraj tells us,"Whatever I wanted Ayaalum Njanum Thammil and Celluloid to do, they have already done it and these awards are rather a big bonus.Deep down inside, the ultimate success for me is when people come and watch these films. What I'm really happy about is that these films are now successful and acknowledged."
