indian NATIONAL FILM AWARDS 2019

Ayushmann Khurrana and Vicky Kaushal share Best Actor award

Actors Ayushmann Khurrana (‘Andhadhun’) and Vicky Kaushal (‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’) jointly won the Best Actor award at the 66th National Film Awards. This is the first National Film Award for both the actors. In a statement, Khurrana said, “It’s truly humbling and hugely gratifying to win the coveted National Award. As an artiste, I have always tried to back disruptive and quality content. Today’s honour is a validation of my hard work, belief system, the journey in movies and my reason to be an actor in the first place. Over and above my personal win, I am thrilled that both the films that I have done – ‘Andhadhun’ and ‘Badhaai Ho’ have won at the prestigious National Awards. It again validates that people of our country want to see cinema that entertains and can be cherished.”

Andhadhun, which is an official remake of Oliver Trennier’s French short film ‘The Piano Tuner’ (2010), also won Best Hindi film and Best Adapted Screenplay awards.

Uri, on the other hand, won Best Director, Best Background Score and Best Sound Design awards. The Aditya Dhar directorial, co-starring Paresh Rawal, Yami Gautam, Mohit Raina and Kirti Kulhari, is one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of 2019.

Vicky also shared his happiness in a statement. He said, “Words might fall short to describe the happiness I’m feeling right now. For my work to be recognised by the honourable National Film Awards Jury is truly a moving moment for me and my family. I wish to thank each and every member of the jury committee for finding me worthy of the prestigious Best Actor Award for my work in ‘URI-The Surgical Strike’. I’m also very happy to be sharing the award with someone whom I admire, both as a person and as an actor. Ayushmann, congratulations brother!”
