Jeeva and Yuvan Shankar Raja have won the best actor and best music director awards for Ameer directed Raam at the prestigious Cyprus International Film festival. The last Tamil film to get an award at this festival was Veerapandiakattabomman 45 years back!

Raam has done wonders to Jeeva’s career and director Ameer who had represented the film in Greece received the prestigious award on Jeeva’s behalf.

Said a beaming Jeeva to Moviebuzz: “Actually I never expected to get this award otherwise I would have definitely gone with Ameer to Greece. I feel that he is the right person to receive it, as it is his film”.

Jeeva also added that out of 200 films from all over the world including Paheli in Hindi, 11 were selected for the final round. Says Jeeva: “It is such a big recognition for a newcomer like me to get such a prestigious award and I thank almighty for it”.
