Delighted with the National Award for his work in Tamil gangster drama "Jigarthanda", editor Vivek Harshan dedicated the honour to his guru Anthony.

"I'm very happy. I'd like to dedicate the award to my guru. And to the team of 'Jigarthanda'. It wouldn't have been possible without them," Harshan told on Tuesday.

Several Tamil cinema editors such as A Sreekar Prasad, KL Praveen, Kishore TE and VJ Sabu have won National Awards for their work over the years.

Vivek says good work "always gets recognized".

"Good work being recognised is a good trend. When our work gets recognized nationally, it's very good for the industry," he said.
