Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri receives the prestigious ‘National Kishore Kumar Award, says “My heart is filled with love and gratitude for the people of Bharat”

Indian filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is one of the most determined and ambitious filmmakers in the Indian film Industry and with films like The Kashmir Files, he has time and again proved his craft. Yesterday, the director went to Khandwa to receive the prestigious ‘National Kishore Kumar Award’ given by MP Govt. This place, Khandwa holds a very dear significance to his childhood memories as it reminds him of his time as a kid with his father. Especially, when he was little, his father used to tell him that Kishore Kumar lived in Khandava every time they used to pass from there. Now, the director was facilitated with an award at the same place.

Taking to social media, he wrote of this beautiful note thanking MP govt as he said “I thank MP Govt,

and the jury for the precious ‘National Kishore Kumar Award’. For me this honour is a moment I’ll cherish for a lifetime. My heart is filled with love and gratitude for the people of Bharat. 🙏”
