Actor, writer, producer and director Ranganathan Madhavan has been conferred the degree of Doctor of Letters (D. Litt.) for his outstanding contribution to arts and cinema.

He was honoured with a doctorate at the 9th convocation ceremony of DY Patil Education Society, Kolhapur.

Talking about it, Madhavan says, "I am truly humbled by this honour. This will only motivate me to keep pushing the envelope and challenging myself with newer projects."

Madhavan marked his acting debut with the English film, Inferno.
