This is my 6th Filmfare. I want to win more: Dhanush
Sasi is a hero. Our hero. We are only heroes in his films: Kamal Haasan
Kamal Haasan and IV Sasi have been friends for over 35 years. He had promised him last year that if he won an award, he would be there for him. And he kept his promise to be there for his friend when he was being awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Britannia Filmfare awards in Chennai on Friday night.
Kamal Haasan looked stunning in his veshti and had each and every star and fans��� heads turned when he walked in. One of the cutest moments of the evening was his daughter Shruti Haasan taking a selfie with her Bapuji. Talking about Sasi, Kamal Haasan said, ���Thank you, Sasi. We promised ourselves probably 35-40 years ago that we will be in this limelight and we kept that promise. We were friends and never thought that our journey was going to be this long. He has done so much for the Malayalam industry. We know Sasi but we know very little about what he is all about. My mentor Mr Balachander used to ask me, ���How does he conceive of his shot? Does he come with his storyboard? Does he come and make it off-the-cuff?��� And when I told him that he makes up his shot as we go along, he couldn���t believe me. Sasi had been only my friend and director till then, but it is only when Mr Balachander asked me about him, I realised how important Sasi was. We have done a lot of films together and I have even been his second assistant in a film. His wife Seema was also my dance student. Can you imagine Sasi has made 100 films in 20 years. He is a hero. Our hero. We are only heroes in his films.������
Vijay had said I will walk away with the awards: AR Murugadoss
Dhanush was the hot favourite for the Best Actor Kollywood award at the 62nd Britannia Filmfare Awards (South) and he walked away with it. AR Murugadoss got the loudest cheer when he got the Best Director award for his film Kaththi. Holding the Black Lady in his hand, he said, ���Vijay heard 10 minutes of the script, and said, ���OK, I will do it.��� But when I was on my way back after the narration, I got this SMS from him, which I have saved to this date, and it said, ���You will walk away with all the awards next year.������
The highlight of the evening was when legends, Kamal Haasan and Mammootty came on the stage to give away the Lifetime Achievement Award to IV Sasi.
Dhanush on receiving the best actor Award for Velaiyilla Pattathari
I am very honoured to win the Best Actor Award. I have half a dozen Filmfare trophies at home as this is my sixth Filmfare. I wish to win more. I had given a few flops consecutively and was badly in need of a hit and this film (VIP) and script came to me at the right time and it became a blockbuster.
