Mumbai, May 24 : Playback singer Kumar Sanu enthralled an audience at a production award function, where he was the chief guest on Saturday in Mumbai.

Speaking on the occasion, Kumar described the production unit as the main pillar of the film industry, and appealed to the film fraternity to come forward and support them.

"From the beginning of the film till the end, the production people work hard on it. They rarely get acknowledged for their hard work. It is a thankless job. Even a hairdresser and dress man gets an award, but they are not awarded as there is no category for them," said Kumar Sanu.

Among the awards handed out were for best production manager, best production controller and a lifetime achievement award. The production awards were organised by Association of CINE TV and Advertisement Production Executives. (ANI)
