Mega star Mammootty had won yesterday the best actor Film fare award for the 11th time in his career and overtakes Mohanlal with whom he was tied on 10 awards for acting. Mammootty had won the award for his performance in the last year November release flick named Varsham helmed by Hit maker Renjith Shankar in which Mammootty had portrayed the character named Venu. He done wonderfully well as Venu by enacting the pain and suffering of a father who loses his son unexpectedly and at very younger as well.

It was considered as one of Mammootty’s best in last 5 years as well. And in fact films like Munnariyippu and Varsham gave him a relief from continuous failures as they had got good critical reception even though that too not done nothing much in the box office. But that really kept him in the race with some positive response about him from the audience and had won him some other awards as well in Kerala.

At the award function while receiving the award Mammootty made a funny comment also that for this award he really thankful to his fellow actors who are nominated as well as not nominated for not acting well because if they had done so well it might have been difficult for him to get this best actor award. So he thanked them all for not acting so great to win this award. He also thanked himself at the stage as he was the producer of the film Varsham as well. It is now a days a habit of the Mega star to make funny comments at the stage and sometime that goes wrong as well just like what happened on the stage of Asianet Television awards not so long ago. It had become a great controversy as well.

Apart from Mammootty his son Dulquer Salmaan also won the film fare award for the best newcomer from Kollywood for the performance in the film named Vayai Moodi Pesavum which was released in Kerala also as its Malayalam version. It was a rare moment in the history of Film fare award south that a father and son had won the awards in the same year.
