"The fact that it turned out to be a good film is what matters to me more than any award. I guess it (winning the award) is of great importance to get the film high profile...to make sure it gets seen, so naturally I am happy about it. This way the film will gain a lot of attention," Naseeruddin told IANS.
"Half Full", directed by Karan Rawal, is a 12-minute short film that focuses on the trials and tribulations of a young man (played by Vikrant) who is undergoing an internal conflict. One night, he encounters an old man (Naseeruddin) and a strange vibe develops between the two, throwing up some sarcastic and vague questions.
The veteran actor found it a real pleasure to work on this movie.
"It was a night's shoot. I found it enjoyable. It's very effective and makes its point very cleverly," he said.
