The jury of the 64th National Awards will apparently be headed by the critically acclaimed filmmaker, Priyadarshan.
The Kanchivaram director, according to reports, has said, “I am now getting mentally prepared for this huge responsibility, and the only thing on my mind right now is to see that the criterion which will be before me when we see the films, is the merit in each of them. I am told that we will have to watch around 86 films which have been selected by four regional juries.We will start viewing the films from March 16, and by the middle of next month, our job will be done.”
This is the first time Priyadarshan would be heading the jury for National Awards and let us keep our fingers crossed to know who are the deserving winners.
