Congratulations Prashant Pillai. You are very humble like ARR. The way you wrote this mail certainly needs an applause.
I wish you all the very best for your future endeavours as well. Unfortunately, I am in Chennai, and cannot join you for the screening of your film. I am sure our members from Mumbai would join you for the screening.
