Finally! Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Friday bagged his first-ever National Award for his intriguing performance in the film Jawan. This feat is an ode to his illustrious career spanning over three decades.
The actor shares the Best Actor award with Vikrant Massey, who won for his role in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s directorial 12th Fail.
Rani Mukerji has won the Best Actress award for her powerful performance in Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway. This also marks her first-ever National Award.
The names of the winners of the 71st National Film Awards were revealed at a press briefing at the National Media Centre in New Delhi.
Fans have been beaming with joy ever since Shah Rukh and Vikrant have been adjudged as the recipients of Best Actor for the National Film Awards.
‘This is huge! Shah Rukh finally receiving his first National Award win,’ an X user wrote.
‘So so happy. Both SRK and Vikrant deserve it,’ another social media user commented.
Directed by Atlee, Jawan starred SRK alongside Nayanthara, Deepika Padukone, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, and Ridhi Dogra.
Previously, post the success of Jawan, the makers held a press conference in Mumbai, where SRK expressed his gratitude to the makers for their love for the film.
Based on a book by Anurag Pathak, 12th Fail chronicles the life of Manoj Kumar Sharma, who overcame extreme poverty to become an IPS officer. The film puts the spotlight on his journey and how his wife, IRS officer Shraddha Joshi, was instrumental in his rise.
The film emerged as a word-of-mouth hit towards the end of 2023, grossing nearly Rs 60 crore worldwide at a time when mid-budget films were not even getting theatrical releases. With 12th Fail, Vikrant undoubtedly skyrocketed to fame.
Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway is based on the real-life story of Sagarika Chakraborty and Anurup Bhattacharya, an Indian couple living in Norway, whose children were taken away by Norwegian authorities in 2011. Rani plays Debika, a mother who goes up against an unfamiliar legal system to win back her kids. (Agencies)
