The Sultan of controversies is at it again as he throws the question few would dare to look in the face in Kollywood.Known for his frank and bold statements, Ameer Sultan has kicked up yet another controversy by asking a question nobody in Kollywood would dare to even think aloud: Why are Rajnikanth and Vijay given best actor awards?
The venue was Tamil Nadu Union of Film Journalists’ (TNUFJ) film awards distribution for the year 2006-07.
“Rajnikanth and Vijay are winning ‘best actor’ awards. How can we accept this? If you question the logic behind this, the organizers have the ready-made answer that it is the ‘choice of the people’. If ‘people’ continue to select the awardees, Rajnikath would be winning the same continuously for the next ten years,” he assured sarcastically. He added that he won’t object if Rajnikanth and Vijay were awarded the ‘best entertainer’ awards.
Ameer, who has been winning awards almost at all award functions for his ‘Paruthiveeran’, won another from TNUFJ as well.
Veteran director K. Balachander gave away the awards to the winners. He remarked that though he is well past 70, he felt very young at heart and was planning to direct films with renewed vigour. He said he wanted to compete with the younger generation of directors and win awards.
