Nayanthara secured the Best Actress accolade for her outstanding portrayal in the action-packed thriller ‘Jawan’ at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2024. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan presented Nayanthara with the award.
Various clips of SRK presenting the award to his ‘Jawan’ co-star Nayanthara surfaced on social media.
In the footage, the ‘Pathaan’ luminary was also captured delighting the audience with his rendition of the song ‘Chaleya’ while welcoming Nayanthara onstage.
SRK earned the Best Actor honor for his role in ‘Jawan’ at the DPIFF 2024.
In the movie, the ‘Chak De India’ icon was portrayed in a dual role, while Nayanthara essayed the character of a police officer and SRK’s romantic interest.
Released on September 7 last year, ‘Jawan’ marked the inaugural collaboration between SRK and director Atlee.
Deepika Padukone, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, Ridhi Dogra, Lehar Khan, Girija Oak, and Sanjeeta Bhattacharya comprise the stellar cast of the film, which signifies Atlee’s debut as a director in Bollywood.
‘Jawan’ has redefined box office triumph, captivating audiences with its enthralling narrative and stellar performances, and etching its name in the annals of record-breaking feats.
Expressing his elation over the film’s success, Shah Rukh previously remarked, “It’s a celebration. We rarely get a chance to live with a film for years. The making of Jawan has been going on for four years due to Covid and time constraints. There were a lot of people involved in this film, especially people from the South who came and settled in Mumbai and have been living in Mumbai for the last four years and working day and night for this film, which is the hardest work ever.” (ANI)
