The annual Filmfare Awards (South) were held on
Saturday (July 7) at the Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai.
An awarding Debut Nothing can give a young actor a bigger confidence boost than the elusive Black Lady, who remains on the wishlist of even the most seasoned actors. So, when you win a Filmfare Award for your very first film, the feeling is even more special.
The Filmfare Best Debut awards, both male and female, went to actors Aadi and Shruti Haasan for their roles in Telugu films. While Aadi won the award for "Prema Kavali", Shruti won the award for her work in both "Anaganaga O Dheerudu" in Telugu and "7Aum Arivu" in Tamil.
Receiving the award from her legendary father Kamal Haasan made the night all the more special for her, said Shruti. "I practiced my speech in front of the mirror many times over, but now when the moment has come, I am speechless. Thank you appa for giving me this award..." she said.
Adi's dream come true It was a great moment for young actor Aadi who called his award an old dream come true. "I always wanted to win this award, now that I have achieved this dream, I have a new one - to win the best actor's award. Hopefully, that too will happen soon."
The evening was all the more special for Aadi's family as they took home two awards. While Aadi himself won the award for Best Debut male, his uncle Ravishankar, who's best known as the dubbing artiste in "Arundhati" for Sonu Sood, won the Best Supporting Actor award for Kannada. Aadi's dad, actor Saikumar, too was present as the family rejoiced the wins right through the after party.
Incidentally, Jonnavithula Ramalingeswara Rao also won the best lyricist for "Jagadhanandha". Shreya's rendition of "Gaganave" from "Sanju Weds Geetha" won her the award in Kannada, and in Malayalam she won it for "Paatil ee Paatil" from "Pranayam".
