New Delhi [India] : South superstar Dhanush was also conferred with the Best Actor Award for his ‘Asuran’at the 67th National Film Awards, which took place on Monday. South actor Dhanush received the Best Actor Award for his role in ‘Asuran’, which also won the Best Tamil Film award. It’s a period action drama film written and directed by Vetrimaaran, based on Poomani’s novel ‘Vekkai’. The film’s plot was influenced by the real-life Kilvenmani massacre that occurred in 1968. At the ceremony, Dhanush was joined by Aishwarya R Dhanush, his wife and superstar Rajinikanth’s daughter. Rajinikanth was also conferred with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for his remarkable contribution to cinema. One of the country’s most eminent awards in entertainment, the 67th version of the National Film Awards, which were handed out to the awardees by Vice President Venkaiah Naidu, was initially going to be held in May last year but had to be delayed due to the COVID pandemic.
