Talking about the amazing win, Regina told The Hindu, "I am happy Awe got a National Award for visual effects and make-up, I am proud of shaving my hair for it. That is the kind of cinema I have been a part of. It is not that I don’t like commercial films, I will do that too if it is packaged well."

On working with director Prasanth Varma, Regina went on to say, "Prasanth has amazing ideas and had narrated a few scripts before he did his short films. I understood his way of making cinema and it was easy for me to think that he could handle Awe."

Awe dealt with the subjects of child abuse, sexual abuse, drug abuse and Homosexuality as well.
