Jayasurya is basking in the glory of his big win at the 51st edition of the Kerala State Film Awards. The actor won the best actor award for his performance in ‘Vellam’. And Jayasurya has now taken to his social media handle to express his gratitude to the entire team of ‘Vellam’, who have been instrumental in helping him bring his best.
“An award mostly has one person’s name on it, but an award can never be won by just one person. I want to thank the army of people behind my award. Thank you jury.Thank you to the entire team behind Vellam, sunny, n Sufi and Sujatha. Thank you, to my cast and crew friends. This is for you my dears.
Thank you my Murali, Sunny and Rajeevan, 3 phenomenal characters, phenomenal souls. For all the calls and messages from my Film family, thank you. You all will always be an insipration for me. And ofcourse, each and everyone of you reading this, thank you for loving my films, thank you for loving me. I wish to continue entertaining you with more beautiful films. And finally, my family, my real pillars. Thank you my wife, my life @saritha jayasurya. @prajeshsen @ranjithsankar @actor_vijaybabu @sarithajayasurya @Roby @madhuneelakandan @anumoothedath @mranjith_ @muralikunnumpurath, jose kutty,” Jayasurya penned.
‘Vellam, The Essential Drink’ helmed by Prajesh Sen revolved around Murali, a man with substance abuse. Although many Malayalam movies have been made around the topic of alcoholic people in the past, ‘Vellam’ delved deep into the emotional, mental, social, societal struggles such individuals deal with.
Meanwhile, this also marks Jayasurya’s second state award. The actor has previously won in 2018 for his performances in ‘Captain’, which was directed by Prajesh Sen and ‘Njan Marrykutty’ helmed by Ranjith Sankar.
