“This is the 35th award in my career and I am very overwhelmed. This is the first time I have designed for a musical play, and to get an award for that has been very touching. It has been a great experience to work on this musical extravaganza. It has also been very challenging as 600 costumes were required.”

“Working with Feroz, who is a fabulous acclaimed play director and Shapoorji made it all a tremendously satisfying experience.”
