Thank you so much it means a lot! I can’t express in words how much it means…” Rajamouli said ecstatically as he accepted the awards on behalf of his team.

He added, “This is the ‘Best Action Film’ (award), we won the ‘Best Stunts’ (award), but probably the ‘Best Stunt’ (award) was for the best stunt choreographer…and…I really would have loved to have the stunt choreographers here to see this because I think that is the team that works so hard and puts their life on the line to entertain us. I think I’ll take this opportunity to ask all the major awards to make a special category for the stunt guys….stunt choreographers, they really, really deserve that! This is for all the stunt choreographers, not only in my country but across the world who really work hard to entertain us all.”

He concluded, “And lastly, to my country, a land of wonderful stories, mera Bharat mahan! Jai Hind!”
