Kabir Khan Talks About Bajrangi Bhaijaan National Award

The 63rd National Film Awards honoured several movies and personalities for their work in the industry. One of the winners was Bajrangi Bhaijaan which was given the award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. Director Kabir Khan recently shared his enthusiasm about winning the award.

He stated, “I am very happy. Honestly, one doesn’t expect any awards, let alone a National Award. Working on this film was no different. Of course, the fact that it was accepted so wholeheartedly by people and that it was a box-office success was a victory in itself. Having said that, National Award is one award that still holds relevance. Also, this is my second National Award after Kabul Express so I couldn’t be happier”.

The filmmaker added that he spoke to Salman about the award and will celebrate when they meet. “We did talk briefly. He is very busy as he is shooting for his next film, and I am scripting for my film. But yeah, I am sure we will celebrate when we meet”, Kabir stated. Bajrangi Bhaijaan performed extremely well at the box office and proved that making a serious themed film is not always necessary to win an award.
