Sartaaj was announced the winner after the week-long festival concluded April 24, where his portrayal of Maharaja Duleep Singh won him praise from the highly discerning English audience.
Sartaaj, playing the complex and troubled character of the last king of Punjab, has been earning plaudits from all quarters for his raw, emotional and deeply affecting portrayal of the lead character.
Last month, he won the ‘Best Debut’ award at the Accolade Global Film Competition held in San Diego, Calif.
