National Award-winning filmmaker and the producer of Manikbabur Megh, Bauddhayan Mukherji took to social media to express his happiness and thanked his team. “Chandan Sen wins the Best Actor award at the 19th IFF Pacific Meridian at Vladivostok. This is a remarkable achievement and a big hug to the entire team of Manikbabur Megh - The Cloud & The Man. I met Chandan during the casting of Patalghar. Saw him up close and realised he is possibly one of the most underrated actors in Bengal. Ever since, there was this strong desire to work with him, to offer him something which he can’t refuse. Finally, we went to him with Manikbabu. And what a fabulous job he has done. This award is a much-deserved one, Chandan. A big shout out to the people who helped Chandan in his journey as Manikbabu - director Abhinandan Banerjee, producer, production designer & costume designer Monalisa Mukherji, make-up artist Malay Mukherjee, DOP Anup Singh, editor Abhro Banerjee music director Subhajit Mukherjee and sound engineer Abhijit Tenny Roy. All of you have helped Chandan become Manikbabu. Thank you,” he wrote.
