Assam Sound Engineer Excited at Winning Nat Award With Resul

He has been an assistant to Resul Pookutty for eight years and when Amrit Pritam won the National Award along with the Oscar-winning sound artiste for their work in the superhit Malayalam film Keralavarma Pazhassiraja today, his joy knew no bounds.

"He has been my teacher all these years and I learnt the ABC of sound editing and designing from Resul," Pritam said.

He had worked with Resul in the Aamir Khan-starrer Ghajini.

According to the Mumbai-based Pritam who hails from Assam, he worked for nearly five months with Resul for Keralavarma Pazhassiraja.

"For months, I used to stay in the studio from Monday to Friday and went home only on Saturdays and Sundays," he told PTI.

However, there was a small glitch as Pritam's name was not announced in the press conference of the awards today. Meawnhile, Resul has already contacted the Information and Broadcasting Ministry on this.

"I spoke to the ministry and a formal rectification and announcement can be expected in a day or two," Resul said.
