Actor-politician Pawan Kalyan has extended his heartfelt congratulations to the winners of the 68th National Film Awards. The 'Bheemla Nayak' actor added that he is especially happy that awards have gone mostly to films produced in southern India.

In this regard, the Jana Sena chief made a mention of composer SS Thaman, who has been chosen as the best music director for his songs in 'Ala Vaikunthapuramuloo'. He also congratulated Sandhya Raju for winning the award for the Best Choreography in 'Natyam', besides wishing make-up artist TV Rambabu for the same movie. Pawan also mentioned 'Colour Photo', adjudged the Best Telugu Feature Film.

"The award was announced on your birthday and that makes it even more special," the 'Bholaa Shankar' star added. Thaman, the team of 'Soorarai Pottru' (including writer-director Sudha Kongara), the teams of 'Ayyappanum Koshiyum' and 'Colour Photo' also came in for congratulations.
