Thrissur district administration and the corporation felicitated  Oscar award winner Resul Pookutty on Wednesday.  Speaker K. Radhakrishnan inaugurated the function. Revenue Minister K. P. Rajendran, Mayor R. Bindu, Therambil Ramakrishnan, Babu M. Palissery, K. V. Abdul Khader, Murali Perunelly, Thomas Unniyadan, MLAs, Corporation Opposition Leader I. P. Paul, Collector V. K. Baby, Kerala Sahitya Akademi secretary Purushan Kadalundi,  film directors Sathyan Anthikad and  Priyanandanan were present on the occasion.
Resul Pookutty described in his reply to felicitation Thrissur as "a land that celebrated sound through a world-famous traditional festival, Pooram". He has called for improving the quality of cinema theatres in the country.  "About 80 per cent of people in the country live on a per capita consumption of less than Rs.20 a day. They pay Rs.40 or so to watch a film. They should be provided basic comforts in theatres. Policy-makers should take this into consideration," he added. He said he was happy to note post-Oscars that the approach to sound in cinema had changed. "But overnight changes always frighten me. I hope such changes do not lead into a kind of activism."  He said he was overwhelmed by the affection showered on him by the people of Kerala. "Months after the Oscars, people still honor me. I have responded to the affection by offering them a film, 'Pazhassi Raja'."
