Irrfan Khan recently held a special screening of Marathi film Sairat for Teenagers
Actor Irrfan Khan says that veteran actor Nana Patekar should have won the National Award for his performance in the much-appreciated Marathi film ‘Natsamrat’.
At a screening of the recent Marathi blockbuster ‘Sairat’ he organised, Irrfan, asked about ‘Natsamrat’, said: ‘Outstanding film. I think it should’ve won the National Award for Nanaji. Anyway, I wasn’t in the jury.’
The Mahesh Manjrekar-directed ‘Natsamrat’, starring Nana as a veteran stage actor, was a highly critically acclaimed film, which also did brilliant business at the box-office.Incidentally, it was megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who won the Best Actor National Award for ‘Piku’ in which Irrfan also played a crucial role.
Considering the fact that most of the National Awards winners this year have been films which released in 2015 such as ‘Piku’, ‘Bajirao Mastani’, ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, it is not clear if ‘Natsamrat’, which released on January 1, 2016, still has a chance next year.
