CHENNAI: Filmmaker K Balachandar, who will be presented with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in September, was on Thursday honoured with the Outstanding Citizen Award by the Hamsadhwani Sabha. But the 81-year-old filmmaker chose instead to wax eloquent on Anna Hazare, and said he hoped the crusade of the citizens against corruption would win. “I am attending felicitation events for the Dadasaheb Award even before I collect the honour. The ceremony has been planned for September, but given the state that india is in currently, I do not even know if the event will happen. Even if it doesn’t, I would consider it as my award if the people win in their anti-corruption drive,” he said .Balachandar, who has directed more than 100 films, was presented the award by Hamsadhwani Sabha as part of its 21st anniversary celebrations.The award was presented to him by former CEC T S Krishnamurthy and actor Sachu.
