India, Nov. 17 -- Kishkindha Kaandam fetched Malayalam actor Asif Ali his very first Kerala State Film Award for his performance as Ajayan in Dinjith Ayyathan's second directorial. The slow-burn thriller received another award for the best editor for Sooraj. Though Dinjith Ayyathan is happy for the honour bestowed on Asif and Sooraj, the director rued the lack of an award for the script by Bahul Ramesh, which he believes it truly deserved. Senior actor Vijayaraghavan failing to get a mention at the recently announced 55th Kerala State Film Awards is another grievance that Dinjith Ayyathan shared during an exclusive interview with OTTplay.
