Madhavan received the best actor award on behalf of Mohanlal at SIIMA 2017
The sixth edition of SIIMA 2017 (The South Indian International Movie Awards) was held recently in Abu Dhabi. SIIMA 2017 honoured the best technicians and artists of all four South Indian film industries.
Mohanlal won the best actor award in Malayalam for his performance as a blind person in Priyadarshan’s Oppam and a wild hunter in the all time blockbuster Pulimurugan. The superstar could not attend the event in Abu Dhabi as he was caught up with some prior commitments.
Tamil star R Madhavan received the award on behalf of Mohanlal at SIIMA. Madhavan had also won the Best Actor Critics Choice Award (Tamil) for his performance in the sports- drama Irudhi Suttru. Sivakarthikeyan (Remo) and Nayanthara (Irumugan) won the top honours in Tamil for the best actor categories.
Ilayathalapathy Vijay won the award for best entertainer for his performance in last year’s blockbuster movie Theri. Since Vijay could not attend the event, his award was received by his Theri co-star and actress Meena’s daughter Baby Nainika.
SIIMA 2017 was a star studded event that saw the presence of many top stars from the South Indian industries. The event was held on two days, June 30 and July 1. Bollywood stars Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif were the special guests. They attended the award night as part of promotions of their upcoming movie Jagga Jasoos.
