Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu honored Tamil superstar Rajinikanth with the coveted Dadasaheb Phalke Award on Monday, as well as a slew of other film stars, including Dhanush, Priyadarshan, Resul Pookutty, Manoj Bajpayee, and Kangana Ranaut, with National Film Awards. The 67th National Film Awards, which were postponed owing to the coronavirus pandemic, were announced in March of this year.
Naidu said he was pleased that regional films topped the list of prize winners, which was finally held in a physical format after a two-year delay.
Sachin Tendulkar came and wished Thalaiva Rajinikanth congratulations
There are very few actors who are able to create a ripple every time their movie releases.
Thalaiva @rajinikanth does that every single time & continues to enthral the audience with his work.
Many congratulations on receiving the #DadasahebPhalkeAward.
