Mammootty Ignored For Best Actor at 70th National Film Awards? Jury Member MB Padmakumar Claims His Production House Didn't Submit Films For Consideration (Watch Video)
Mammootty did not win Best Actor at 70th National Film Awards due to non-submission of films by his production house, claims jury member. This contradicts initial reports of him being a frontrunner.
Malayalam superstar Mammootty not winning the Best Actor trophy for Lijo Jose Pelissery's Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam at the 70th National Film Awards has shocked many movie buffs. While the superstar was considered a strong contender for the prestigious honour, a surprising revelation by jury member MB Padmakumar has emerged. The film director claims that Mammootty's production house, Mammootty Kampany, did not submit his critically acclaimed films, Rorschach and Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam, for consideration. This goes against certain past reports that claimed Mammootty and Rishab Shetty (who won the award for Kantara) were frontliners to win the award.
