64th National Film Awards announced yesterday yet again opened the Pandora box. While social media has been going agog on Priyadarshan led jury members lacked in transparency, here is South India’s sensational director AR Murugadoss openly slammed the jury.
‘Can clearly witness the influence and partiality of people in jury, it's biased,’ Murugadoss said.
How come Akshay Kumar awarded the Best Actor for ‘Rustom’ and why is Mohan Lal given a special jury award? There are many questions raised by onlookers. True that Priyadarshan had close association with both Akshay and Mohan Lal.
When holding a prestigious and respected position, Priyadarshan could have been far more impartial and unambiguous.
