New Delhi: Amazon Original, Mirzapur Season 2, has won top honours at the Asian Academy Creative Awards (AAA), Asia Pacific's (APAC) most prestigious awards for creative excellence, held on December 2 and 3, 2021 in Singapore.
The awards showcase excellence in the film and television industry across the APAC region. Streaming on Amazon Prime Video, India’s most preferred entertainment destination, Mirzapur is a blockbuster show that has won appreciation and love from fans and critics alike. Its win in the ‘Best Original Programme by a Streamer/OTT’ category further solidifies its position as a trailblazing show in the digital space.
“At Prime Video, we are constantly working towards offering our viewers compelling content across genres, categories, languages and formats, that entertains, inspires and provokes,” said Aparna Purohit, Head of India Originals, Amazon Prime Video India. “Our programming reflects the diverse voices of our customers and provides a global showcase for stories that are deeply rooted in local culture, making them more authentic, engaging and immersive for viewers across the world.
