Tigmanshu Dhulia, who recently won the National Award for Best Film for Paan Singh Tomar, bagged another award at the recently concluded SAARC Festival in Colombo

The film won the Best Feature Film award while Dhulia got the Best Director award at the festival. As Dhulia was busy shooting his Saif Ali Khan-Sonakshi Sinha starrer, he was unable to make it to the event.


M Ramachandran, the director of the Indian Cultural Centre in Colombo collected the awards on the filmmaker's behalf.

Dhulia says, `I feel honoured to receive this prestigious award and accept it with all humility. I shall continue to strive to entertain the audience.`
