Awards create tension in the industry
|
The National and state award going to Salim Kumar for Adaminte Makan Abu in the Best Actor category has created tension in Malayalam film industry.
Director Ranjith whose critically acclaimed Pranchiyettan and the Saint was in the running for Best Actor award for Mammootty, has reacted badly.
He said Salim Kumar's performance in Adaminte Makan Abu was no patch on Mammootty's performance in Pranchiyettan and the Saint!
Ranjith had enough reasons to feel peeved and even dragged the National Award jury Chairman JP Dutta into the controversy by calling him "another Major Ravi".
Salim Kumar has lashed out against Ranjith’s comments and said it is just sour grapes. Meanwhile there is a feeling among certain section of the industry that those who do comedy roles should not be equated
with Mammootty and Mohanlal. This has led to a division in the industry.
