Is the country ready for the Malaysian Indian Cine Awards?

Maravan is one of nine films nominated in the Malaysian Indian Cine Awards.

When RG Naidu mooted the idea for the product and makers of local Indian cinema to be recognised in an award show, he was met with scepticism.

“There were people who questioned my idea. They said the industry is not ready for its own award show,” said RG, who is a strong advocate for the local Indian entertainment scene.
