Just like the National Film Awards, the Dadasaheb Phalke Awards also got postponed by a year owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. The jury that selected Rajiniknath for the award included singers Asha Bhosle and Shankar Mahadevan, actors Mohanlal and Biswajeet, and filmmaker Subhash Ghai.
PM Narendra Modi took to his twitter handle to congratulate Rajinikanth on the honour. “Popular throughout generations, a physique of labor few can boast of, various roles and an endearing persona…that’s Shri @rajinikanth Ji for you. It is a matter of immense pleasure that Thalaiva has been conferred with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. Congratulations to him,” he wrote.
