NEW DELHI: Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is one of the most determined and ambitious filmmakers in the Indian film industry. With films like 'The Kashmir Files', he has time and again proved his craft. Yesterday, the director went to Khandwa to receive the prestigious 'National Kishore Kumar Award' given by the Madhya Pradesh government. This place, Khandwa holds a very dear significance to his childhood memories as it reminds him of his time as a kid with his father.  

Especially, when he was little, his father used to tell him that Kishore Kumar lived in Khandava every time they used to pass from there. Now, the director was facilitated with an award at the same place. Taking to social media, he wrote this beautiful note thanking the Madhya Pradesh government as he said, "I thank MP Govt, @minculturemp @UshaThakurMLA
 and the jury for the precious 'National Kishore Kumar Award'. For me, this honour is a moment I'll cherish for a lifetime. My heart is filled with love and gratitude for the people of Bharat."
