The 67th National Film Awards presentation ceremony was held at the Vigyan Bhavan in Delhi today. Artistes who had already been announced as the winners in March, arrived to accept the honours from Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu. Director Nitesh Tiwari and producer Sajid Nadiadwala attended the ceremony to accept the Best Hindi Feature Film award for Chhichhore. While speaking at the red carpet, before the ceremony, director Nitesh Tiwari dedicated the award to late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who was the main lead in the film.
“Sushant was an integral part of Chhichhore, he will continue to be so. All of us are equally proud of the award which we have got as a team, and I am very sure he would have been equally proud,” said Tiwari, while Nadiadwala added, “We are dedicating this award to him actually.”
“A moment of pride for all of us at NGE today as we’ve received the prestigious National Award for Chhichhore! Thank you Nitesh Tiwari for this special movie! We’re really grateful for all the love & dedicate this award to Sushant Singh Rajput,” Nadiadwala later said in a statement.
