It was a proud moment last night for the makers of Mahanati, the acclaimed biopic on legendary yesteryear heroine Savithri. This blockbuster film bagged four main awards at the just concluded 66th Filmfare Awards South, which was held last night at the Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai.
While Keerthy Suresh won the Best Actress, the film’s male lead Dulquer Salmaan walked away with the black lady for Best Actor (Critics). The film was also adjudged the Best Film (Telugu) for the year 2018. Finally, director Nag Ashwin won the Best Director award for his stupendous work in recreating Savithri Amma’s illustrious life.
Released in May last year, Mahanati went on to become a massive hit at the box-office by collecting nearly 40 crore share. The film also won three National Awards earlier this year, including the Best Actress award for Keerthy Suresh, Best Feature Film Telugu and Best Costume Design.
