Next, we have MM Keeravani's acceptance speech. In it, the composer describes it to be an “overwhelming moment” and adds that he is happy to receive the honour in front of his wife MM Srivalli. “It's been an age-old practice to say that this award actually belongs to someone else. So I was planning to not say those words when I get an award like this, but I'm sorry to say I'm going to repeat the tradition because I mean my words,” he says. MM Keeravani expresses his gratitude to director SS Rajamouli, actors Ram Charan and Jr NTR.
