Director Ameer, who should be in cloud nine over the international recognition for his film ‘Paruthi Veeran’, seems to be in a dull mood. The special award given in Berlin film fest has definitely made him feel proud but the lack of proper recognition in his homeland for the honor puts him off.

He met with same kind of lackluster response when he got an award in Cyprus film fest for his Ram. No organization in the field has sent even a bouquet as a sing of appreciation on both occasions.

It is not that the poor response from his own industry has come as a shock to the director. When a London based journalist asked Ameer about the possible reception for him in India for getting such an honour, he replied saying that, “back home, it would be news for most of them when I talk about it”.

Ameer has also denied the news that Tamil Nadu CM had conveyed his wishes to him. He has plans to meet the CM to show the award to him.

However, he is happy that his friends in the industry have been making calls to congratulate him.
