Randeep Hooda has won India's prestigious National Film Award. But he received this award not for the actor but from a new director.
Hooda, who entered acting in 2001 with the film 'Monsoon Wedding', has already played the American film 'Extraction' in 2020 and the television series 'Cat' in 2022.
But this time, the biopic 'Swatantra Veer Savarkar', based on the life of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, considered the ideologue of Hindutva in India, has won Randeep his first National Award.
In this film, he has not only acted in the lead role of Savarkar, but he has also prepared the screenplay of the film himself and Randeep is also the producer. Randeep, who also tried his hand at directing for the first time with this film, also won the National Award for the first time.
'This honor belongs to all of us. I believe this award will further inspire the younger generation to understand the legacy of Veer Savarkar,' said Randeep after winning the National Award, 'As an actor, co-writer and first-time director, I have put my all into this film. Because I felt that the responsibility of bringing Veer Savarkar's life to the audience with complete honesty was on my shoulders.'
'Article 370' has won the award for Best Feature Film from Indian films released in 2024 at the 72nd National Awards. Similarly, the best Hindi film was won by Rajkumar Rao's film 'Srikanth'.
Similarly, Mammootty and Kartik Aaryan jointly won the National Award for Best Actor for the films 'Brahma Yugam' and 'Chandu Champion' respectively. Mammootty has won the National Award for the fourth time.
The award for actress was won by Yami Gautam for 'Article 370'. After receiving the award, Yami wrote on social media 'X', excitedly, 'There comes a time during the journey, which makes you realize why you should never give up in life. Today, such a moment has come for me too. This award is an honor that I will cherish for the rest of my life.'
Yami further wrote, 'For the last 14 years, I have done my job with honesty, trying to give acting its own identity. This award feels like a great achievement of a journey filled with hope, patience, struggle and unwavering love for films.'
In addition, Aditya Subhas Jambhale from 'Article 370' was awarded the Best Director and Sukumar from 'Pushpa 2' was awarded the Best Screenplay. While Sanjay Mishra won the Supporting Actor award for the film 'Bhashak', 'Kalki 2898 AD' won the award for a completely entertaining film. Similarly, the silent film 'Touched by Water' won the National Award for Best Animation, while Sumitra Roy's film 'Bhangar' won the Best Non-Feature Film.
India's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting announced the winners on Saturday from the 'National Media Centre' in New Delhi. The winners will be presented with the awards by the President at a special function to be held at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi.
