JioHostar had a major event last evening in Chennai called South Unbound. Apart from sharing a slate of 25 titles, the event saw the platform expressing its aim of investing Rs. 4000 crores in south content. JioHotstar also announced signing a Letter of Intent with the Government of Tamil Nadu, establishing a partnership that reflects a shared vision to accelerate the state’s creative and production ecosystem.
The big moment came in the end when Mohanlal, Nagarjuna and Vijay Sethupathi arrived on the stage together as hosts of Bigg Boss Malayalam, Telugu and Tamil respectively. But before speaking about the show, Nagarjuna took the opportunity to felicitate his friend Mohanlal on a recent major achievement.
Nagarjuna said, “I wanted to take this opportunity and congratulate Mohanlal Garu for the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. I didn’t get a chance to personally congratulate him, so I take this opportunity, especially when everybody is here. (He is) the most deserving actor and it’s the most prestigious award.”
He added, “I remember my father (the legendary Akkineni Nageswara Rao) had received this award a while ago and he was on the Dadasaheb Phalke Committee. This award is so pure and prestigious. And it has come to the most deserving actor; an actor who holds his own in Indian cinema; a man who can do anything at ease. He just gets into the character. Nothing else we can do but clap.”
Mohanlal was visibly moved by Nagarjuna’s word. He profusely thanked him for his words of praise.
