Well-known filmmaker Prawaal Raman, who is known for films like Main Aur Charles and Dobaara: See Your Evil, has been awarded ‘Silver Dolphin’ award trophy at the prestigious Cannes Corporate Media and TV Awards for his emotional short film, Love You Papa. Made for a global company called Nihilent Technologies, the film walked away with the Silver Dolphin in the corporate image film category at the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards amongst 1000 + entries from across the world.

Written-directed by Prawaal Raman, the film is a tale about a father who finds out about his young daughter's passion towards filmmaking and how he identifies her potential at a young age and encourages and supports her to turn her passion into a profession as a guide with a vision of her future.

The Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards is an international festival dedicated to corporate films, online media and TV productions, and takes place every October in Cannes, France. The first edition took place in 2010, and the festival is often referred to as one of the most important festivals in the corporate film industry.

Prawaal Raman thanks his UK and India team for the film and shares that it was his father who is his inspiration. He says, "I give credit to my dad, Revati Raman and Amod Kant the two men behind the inspiration for me to become a filmmaker and to make this film so that all the dads see their kids as independent individuals and help them nourish their dreams. My dad had never compared me with the other kids who were brilliant in maths/science. Instead, he encouraged me to pursue my interest, Films. From buying me cameras to small 8 mm projectors to letting me narrate stories I used to write, I felt that for a child a freedom to dream is important but most important is the correct guidance and support from the parents in pursuing the dreams of their child! "

The main actress of the winning short film Madalina Bellariu collected the award.
