IndiaGlitz reported about the possible list of big winners in this year’s National Awards. Due to the constant media speculation, the awards announcement has been deferred to a later date. Now, the big controversy is over the Dada Sahab Phalke Award. A Kolkata minister dropped hints that Suchitra Sen is going to be The-Chosen-One this year. Noted Director Mrinal Sen replied to such conjectures by saying “We understand the sentiments of people of Bengal, but the fact is we haven’t decided on anything as yet.”

There were also rumours that NCP chief Sharad Pawar is pushing for versatile actress Sulochana. Mrinal Sen admits that a lot of lobbying is taking place but ultimately it’s the jury’s decision. The jury comprises of eminent film personalities like Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Yash Chopra and actor Nageshwar Rao. Sen further added that there shouldn’t be such intense media speculation as the credibility of the jury starts getting affected.

So, who’s going to be the actual winner remains to be announced. IndiaGlitz shall report it to the world. First. So, watch this space!
