Cheran has appealed to the film fraternity
to allot land or house to every national award
winning director. The actor-director said
that shawls would not suffice for national
award winners. Cheran, who was present when
a shawl was presented to the award winning
director Bala by Rama Narayanan on behalf
of the Producers’ Council, said that
directors need to be recognized for their
contribution to cinema. Director Bala was
also presented with a memento by veteran director
K Balachander.
