Ashutosh Gowariker says SRK’s National Award win is historic

Veteran filmmaker Ashutosh
Gowariker, chairperson of the Feature Film Jury of the 71st National Awards, says that he is amazed that Shah Rukh Khan eventually won the National Award after 33 years wait.
Ashutosh directed Shah Rukh Khan in
Swades released in 2004. Shah shared the award with Vikrant Massey recognised for his performance in the social drama 12th Fail.

Speaking to the media personal It’s quite historic that one of the biggest stars of India and Indian cinema after such a long, prolific career, has got an award for best acting at the National Film Awards in a year when he had three films.
In Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan played the double role of Indian Army officer Vikram Rathore and his son Azaad. The film, which earned over Rs 1,600 crore at the global box office, marked the actor’s first film with Tamil cinema director Atlee.
