K. Balachander Got Dadasaheb Phalke Award 2010...
Director K. Balachander, one of the influential filmmakers and trendsetters in Indian cinema, will receive the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for the year 2010, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry announced on Friday.
“Direction has been my passion and continues to be so. Yes, this is a very happy moment,” said the veteran director. Mr. Balachander's story is as fascinating as the ones he has told on screen.
When he was a government servant, he was drawn to theatre and wrote a set of plays that were marked by realistic portrayals. He later took to penning dialogues and gradually found himself wearing the director's hat with ease.
Amid several television interviews and telephone calls, a very enthusiastic Mr. Balachander said: “It has been over a 100 films in direction. I have also produced a good number of films. But what is really fulfilling is having had the opportunity to shape and mentor several actors and technicians.”
