Ashish Chanchlani calls out ‘forced hatred' against Shah Rukh Khan after his National Award win for Jawan
Ashish Chanchlani on hatred towards Jawan
On Monday, Ashish took to X (formerly Twitter) and called out the negativity directed at Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan, writing, 'Will never understand this forced 'hatred' for #Jawan. It's my most favourite SRK film after Chak De. It was entertaining and also beautifully shot.'
While many agreed with Ashish's statement, others defended their criticism. One user wrote, 'There's no hatred, the movie is good, but honestly, it's not good enough to deserve a National Award. SRK should have already been given the award for movies like Swades, Chak De India, or My Name is Khan — but Jawan... umm, come on!! Vicky Kaushal was more deserving for Sam Bahadur.' Another added, 'Because Swades and Chak De were far better films compared to Jawan. Why didn't they give the award for Swades back then instead of awarding it to Hum Tum?'
Shah Rukh Khan shared the National Award for Best Actor with Vikrant Massey, who won it for his performance in 12th Fail. Days after the announcement, actor Urvashi, who won the National Award for Best Supporting Actor for Ullozhukku, questioned the criteria used by the jury to honour SRK with the Best Actor award while considering Vijayaraghavan for Best Supporting Actor.

Imtiaz Ali Applauds Shah Rukh Khans National Award Win For Jawan: It's Obviously A Big Thing
Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali has come out in support of superstar Shah Rukh Khan while addressing the controversy surrounding his recent National Award win for the film 'Jawan.' Speaking on the sidelines of an event in Mumbai, Imtiaz Ali told IANS that it was a moment of pride. 'No, no. If the country has honoured him, it's obviously a big thing. I would like to congratulate Shah Rukh Khan and all the people who got this big award. Thank you,' he said, extending his warm wishes to all the recipients. On August 1, Shah Rukh Khan won his first National Award for Best Actor for his performance in the film 'Jawan.' The controversy began when South actress Urvashi subtly questioned the merit behind SRK's National Award win. While she accepted the honour for Best Supporting Actress for 'Ullozhukku,' Urvashi hinted at a lack of fairness in the jury's decisions. Without directly naming Shah Rukh, she reportedly raised concerns over what made Jawan worthy of Best Actor recognition, while veteran Malayalam actor Vijayaraghavan's powerful performance wasn't even considered in the lead category. Her remarks sparked debate online. On the other hand, a section of netizens expressed surprise over Shah Rukh Khan's National Award win for 'Jawan,' questioning why it took 33 years for such an honour to come his way. Many pointed out that some of his most iconic performances — in films like 'Devdas,' 'Swades,' 'Veer Zaara' and 'Chak De! India'— went unrecognised. The actor's win sparked a debate about the timing and criteria behind the jury's decision. Amid the rising criticism surrounding Shah Rukh Khan's National Award win, veteran actor Mukesh Khanna stepped in to defend the actor. He told IANS, 'People who are saying that Shah Rukh Khan should not have received the award for this film (Jawan) but for Swades — remember A R Rahman received the Oscar for 'Jai Ho' and not for the various beautiful songs he created in the past. Shah Rukh has been working hard for the past 40 years now — so what is wrong if he has received a National Award?'

Kannadasan Wrote This Kamal-Rajini Movie Song Half-Asleep — And Still Won A National Award!
1/9 The 71st National Film Awards were recently announced, with Tamil cinema receiving notable recognition. The award for Best Tamil Film was given to Parking (2023), while GV Prakash was named Best Music Director for Vaathi (2023). Parking also earned Ramkumar Balakrishnan the award for Best Screenplay, and veteran actor MS Bhaskar won Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the same film. Among the many fascinating tales surrounding the National Awards is an intriguing story about the legendary lyricist Kannadasan, who won a National Award for a song he wrote while half asleep. Kannadasan is often the first name that springs to mind when one thinks of poets. His lyrics possess a distinctive charm, and beyond songwriting, he also acted in numerous films. Having penned songs for approximately 4,500 films, produced six films, and authored many books, Kannadasan even went so far as to write his own obituary. Despite his many achievements, one of his most memorable was winning a National Award for a song in a Rajinikanth film, composed while he was half asleep. Do you know which film featured that song? It was Apoorva Raagangal (1975), directed by K Balachander, which marked Rajinikanth's debut in Tamil cinema and also starred Kamal Haasan, Sridevi, and Srividya. The music was composed by MS Viswanathan. During the filming of Apoorva Raagangal, K Balachander and MS Viswanathan were discussing a song for the film with actor Kamal Haasan present. Balachander suggested holding a rehearsal the following day, but MS Viswanathan explained that Kannadasan's lyrics had not yet arrived. This irritated K Balachander, who questioned how long they would have to wait for the poet. MS Viswanathan tried to calm him, but when Kamal Haasan mentioned that Kannadasan was sleeping upstairs, K Balachander's anger intensified. He threatened to cancel the shoot, which woke Kannadasan, who overheard the commotion. After an hour, MS Viswanathan sent someone to check if Kannadasan was awake. The person found that Kannadasan had gone, but his assistant Anandhu handed over a piece of paper to K Balachander. Upon opening it, he was astonished to discover seven different songs written by Kannadasan. Confused about which song to choose, Balachander selected Ezhuswarangalukkul, sung by Vani Jayaram. This song, written in a semi-drowsy state, became immensely popular and won the National Award. Vani Jayaram also received the Best Female Playback Singer award for her performance. The film Apoorva Raagangal went on to win a total of three National Awards.
