Awards are not new to ace music composer M Jayachandran. But when he was adjudged best music director and also won the honour for the best background score at the 51st Kerala State Film Awards, it was definitely a special achievement.
Jayachandran told TNIE that he was humbled as no other music director has had a chance to win these two coveted honours in a single edition of the state film awards. “If at all I had a chance to win an award this year, I thought it would be for background score. But the twin honour has really surprised me,” he said.
