“National Award glitters less as Mohanlal receives it” says Pannyan Raveendran

Mohanlal had earlier received the special Performance category Award at the National awards for movies Janatha Garage, Pulimurugan and Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol. The Award had led to a lot of controversies stating that the Award was given by the jury member Priyadarshan to Mohanlal on the basis of friendship.

CPI leader Pannyan Raveendran has now come up with the statement that the National Award has now glittered a less as Mohanlal had received it. The politician who also has a taste for movies said:

“I am completely clueless in understanding the motive behind giving the National Award to the complete actor Mohanlal. I believe that it is only because to please some. Maybe because of Pulimurugan, there is no other option than giving an award for it. The National Awards these days are being used only to please some and that is not fair”

He had also praised Surabhi Lakshmi for bagging the Best Actress award and said that it was well deserved. He had earlier many times praised the dedication Mohanlal had put in for Pulimurugan.
