Mumbai: Filmmaker S S Rajamouli will receive the Padma Shri award, India’s fourth-highest civilian award. While everyone congratulating ‘Baahubali’ director, Rajamouli says that he doesn’t deserve the award as he hasn’t ‘created any artistic brilliance’.
In a series of tweets, the filmmaker thanked the government for the prestigious homour. The director also congratulated superstar Rajinikant and Ramoji Rao, who are also on the list of the Pamda Awards. Rajinikant and Ramoji Rao will receive Padma Vibhushan.
With ‘Baahubali’s record shattering success, Rajamouli rose to fame. The filmmaker is currently busy with the film’s second part.
