Vishal Bhardwaj talks about Shahid Kapoor not winning National Award

Acclaimed filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj is over the moon as his most recent film ‘Haider’ has won 5 National Awards in various categories.

“We have got more than what we expected. We have got five awards and I am overwhelmed” Vishal told reporters soon after the winners were announced on Tuesday.

“While making this film, I went with my conviction and I am happy that it has been appreciated” he added.

However, the five-time National Award winner was quick to add that he was disappointed with Shahid Kapoor not winning the Best Actor award.

“I am a bit disappointed for Shahid. His performance was really good in the film. I feel sad for Shahid” he said.

On Tuesday, Shahid had tweeted “And Haider wins 5 at the national awards. So so so happy. Every one of them so well deserved. Proud. Big grin.”

  • Yes he deserved this award…
    Btw,Anupam kher has openly bashed Vishal after he dedicated his awards to the kashmiri pandits.

  • congrats shahid but bit dissapointed cos shahid not winning for best actor.
    he was unexpectedly in haider.

  • but I guess this year will have tough competition.
    ranbir for toy,Bombay helmet, jagga daku.
    arjun for tevar.etc
    lol.

  • no seriously this year will have tough from Hindi,
    akki:baby,brother.
    srk:fan
    more movies to come form all talented actors from different categories.

  • shahid deserved.he worked really hard
    but these so called national awards. filmfare n iifa are far more better

  • He never desrved one. He got lucky with bollywood awards as the more strong contender Aamir doesn’t attends Awards. It was just a strong role and some other matured actor would have surely had a chance at national awards but strictly no for Shahid Kapoor.

  • @saurabh shut up u idiot. Shahid has given mindblowing performence in haider. It will be remember for long time as one of the best performance of actor in world cinema.

  • I haven’t seen such a mindblowing performence in bolleywood history by any actor but ignored by national awards. Can’t understand this national award. Even saif get for hum tum . Now i think that filmfare is better in best actor category. I am not talking about other category because they are different in that.

  • @arun

    You shup up you idiot- you have absolutely no basis to say Shahids performance will be remembered the world over for any period of time….! History has seen many riveting performances of Hamlet and even in India shahids performance wasnt or wont be watched by no more than afew percent of the population. The ‘haider’ legacy you are talking about will die a slow but sure death within 2 yrs I predict bit Aamirs PK performance will live long i the memory not just in India but the world over.

  • You’re absolutely right sir.these crap national jury’s have always problem with deserved actors.that s year with SHAHID,previously with SWADES,befor that they gave to ajay’s zakhm instead of KING KHAN’S “DIL SE”.moreover KING KHAN’S minimum 10 films should have won.but instead if that they had added some 2rs c-d grade masala south movies and it’s non actors.morevwr they are trying to degrade BOLLYWOOD,FILMFARE.the most interesting fact is that they are insecure of limelighted ACTORS’s powerful perdormance rather than infamous/stardom less actors like ajay/said/rajkumar.else you can compare rajkumar Rao’ s performance in shahid in 2013 with SHAHID’S performance in HAIDER.you can clearly understand what kind of cheap games they are preparing!similarly you can compare the previous categories also.

    National awards and it’s juries are no different from just like our Indian government ,political leaders and blind law.

  • who has put that word “acclaimed” before vishal bharadwaj?
    please remove that. he doesn’t deserve this title

  • @ @star vishal bhardwaj is much acclaimed director . His film making style is very different and amazing. No one is compareable with him. Almost his movie is critical acclaim which is rare. All his movie are rocks at awards shows which is also rare for any directors. So think before u talk.
