Actor Mammootty has been criticized on social media for being left out of the award. When the awards were announced, Kannada actor Rishabh was awarded the best actor award. Mammootty’s name is not mentioned anywhere. With this, the discussions were such that Mammootty was deliberately avoided. But now jury member and director B Padmakumar is revealing the truth of what happened. In his words, the discussion on social media was that no matter how hard Mammootty tried, he would not be given the central government award. Because BJP is ruling. So Rishabh himself will be given the performance in Kantara.
Criticisms are such that he was shunned just as he thought when the award was announced. After 2014, some people have criticized that he was not considered even though he played many different roles. True, he didn’t get a state award for his best performance in a movie like Nankakal Neert Mayakum, but there was hope that he would get a national award. That movie did not get any award. the
Reading all these critical comments seemed like a reaction. Because I was also in the jury of this award committee. I was a member of the South Jury. Every film has a different opinion among the jury members. When that happens, the film will be voted on. The films that get votes will go to the final jury.
I felt very sad when some of my favorite movies were not uploaded. But there have been incidents of recalling some films that lost the genuineness of the National Award. There will be a question in people’s minds that why Mammootty sir did not get the award despite paying so much attention. That is the most painful thing. Because in the list of films sent from Kerala in 2022, there was not a single Mammootty film. We should seriously think about who the entire blame is on the head of the BJP government. Whoever thought of not sending such a big film for the national award was bad.
