I’m so much moved by the way these awards are carried out where people themselves act as a jury to nominate their favourite stars and vote for them to win this award. I’m happy to announce that Rangasthalam caters more than eight lakh votes. As a director I feel that more than the Box office collections and hit talks after a movie it’s these awards that boost me to take up more challenging projects to work on further days, so I thank each and every person who voted for me and my movie Rangasthalam , I would like to thank Radio City 91.1 FM for coming up with such wonderful initiative Radio City Cine Awards."
