It was very unexpected and out of the blue but its a great feeling," remarked Rajkumar.
"Citylights is a special film and it's always a great feeling when you efforts are recognized. I am glad I won this honour for Citylights as a lot of hard work went into the making of the film. I didn't even know I was being considered for the award so it was a pleasant surprise", the actor said.
