Mumbai, May 28 -- Actor-filmmaker Riteish Vilasrao Deshmukh has been honoured for his significant contribution to Marathi cinema during a special event celebrating Maharashtra's cultural legacy.

The honour arrives at a particularly significant moment in the actor's career, as his latest historical epic "Raja Shivaji" continues its impressive theatrical run. The actor attended the ceremony in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, along with several senior ministers and officials.

What made this honour even more special was that it was presented to him on the birth anniversary of his late father, Vilasrao Deshmukh. This made the moment incredibly emotional and memorable for the actor.
