Tanhaji too bagged Best Film Award for wholesome entertainment and Best Costume Designer awards. Director of Tanhaji Om Raut expressed his views on the same.
Om Raut said, “Tanhaji-The Unsung Warrior is my labour of love. The film had the wholehearted support of Ajay Devgn Sir, who not only agreed agreed play the lead but also took the efforts to produce it.
I’m happy the film has won the Best Film Award for wholesome entertainment at the 68th National Awards.
I also congratulate Ajay Sir for his win as Best Actor in the film. He was Tanhaji in the truest form. This would be incomplete without a special mention for Saif sir whose support has been crucial for the outcome of this film. I would also like to congratulate Nachiket Barve and Mahesh Sherla who won Best Costume Designer for the same. A film is not a one man show, it is the effort of its entire team, the cast and crew are the pillars of each project. This award is for each person who worked on Tanhaji- they are all my unsung heroes.
I’m happy our film got commercial success and true appreciation. Awards and rewards are truly heartening.’’
Keerti Kadam.
