The gentleman hero of Kannada cinema and also director Ramesh Aravind is extremely happy for doyen director K Balachander getting the prestigious Dada Saheb Phalke award.

Ramesh Aravind was spotted for his energy and enthusiasm by KB in ‘Sundara Swapnagalu’ Kannada film. I did not get any wrong temper in my initial days. He is the thoroughly deserving personality for this nation top honor in cinema.

Here is a quotation from Ramesh Aravind “No one in the entire planet deserves it more than him. His illustrious career tale would have been sort of incomplete without this award in his cap. He is a creativity personified and its tribute to his genius”.
