In a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Kishore Kumar, the Madhya Pradesh government will honour celebrated filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani with the prestigious Kishore Kumar Samman 2023. The award ceremony is set to take place on October 13 in Khandwa, Kishore Da’s hometown, coinciding with his death anniversary.

Rajkumar Hirani, acclaimed for his remarkable contributions to the film industry, has consistently highlighted socially relevant topics through his storytelling. He is known for directing blockbuster hits such as 3 Idiots, PK, Sanju, Munna Bhai MBBS, and the upcoming Dunki.
