This is his 4th best actor award at National level and he had left behind Kamal Haasan and Mammootty who had won 3 national awards till now for best actor. Even though Kamal Haasan also has 4 national awards for his acting, one is the award for best child artist he got when he was a kid.
Mammootty had won it three times for his performances in the films like Oru Vadakkan Veeragadha, Mathilukal, Ponthanmada, Vidheyan, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar etc in the years 1989. 1993 and 1998 respectively.

Amitabh Bachchan had won his first National Award in 1990 through the film Agneepath. Then he had won it in 2005 through Black, in 2009 for Pa and now in 2015 for Piku. But there is a talk going throughout social media that Amitabh Bachchan had got awards at most of the times for the undeserving films. There were better performance from Malayalam actors to contest with his performances in those years.
Social media alleges that he got those awards only due to north Indian lobby’s politics. His Agneepath was contested with Thilakan’s performance in Perumthachan, Black was contested with Mohanlal’s Thanmathra, Paa had competed with Mammootty’s Paleri Manickyam and even now his Piku was contested with Jayasurya’s Su Su Sudhi Vathmeekam and Mammoottyy’s Pathemari. Among these, people thinks that Thilakan, Mohanlal and Mammootty should have been awarded instead of Amitabh as their performance was superlative than Amitabh.
