At the time when the entire film fraternity is celebrating the France Government's announcement of Chevalier Award for Kamal Haasan, another actor, filmmaker and writer who has given so many memorable films in Tamil has been honoured with an international glory.

Actor-director R.Parthiban has received the 'Distinguished Director' Award from the Rocheston Accreditation Institute, New York.

The citation in the gold coated certificate given to Parthiban read as below.

"Parthiban, an intense actor, filmmaker, and a remarkable writer was conferred with the Distinguished Director honor by Rocheston Accreditation Institute, New York. His portrayal as Bharathi in Bharathi Kannama will remain in the hearts of viewers for ages to come. Pudhea Paadhai, awarded with the 'Distinguished Film' Award showcased the metamorphosis of a man whose quirks went from being intolerable to understandable. His tendency to daringly break conventional rules to create astonishing stories and deliver exhilarating performances will continue to inspire aspiring creators across the globe"

At this proud moment, Parthiban conveyed his tribute to Chevalier awardee Kamal Haasan in his own unique style.

"His style of rendering thanks for the Chevalier in English itself deserves a Chevalier. This made me engrossed in the memory of KB sir telling me 'Kamal is a school drop out but his English makes me refer the dictionary at times'. Mr.Kamal Haasan deserves all the awards given in the world for artistic contributions. Awards do enhance the vigilance and the sense of art."

It is worth noting that Parthiban has always had high regard for Kamal Haasan and considers him as his forerunner. His admiration for the Ulaganayagan is clearly evident in his message.
