“I am extremely happy that I am receiving this award. It’s a double achievement for me to receive it for a commercial film,” Allu Arjun said on the occasion.

On the red carpet of the National Film Awards, Kriti Sanon said, “To win a National Award within the first decade (of your career) is a very big thing. I am really fortunate and blessed that I got an opportunity like Mimi. Sometimes you do not get to play such a layered character easily. I am really blessed and fortunate that my director and producer felt that I could do it. Just feeling very elated today. I definitely knew Mimi is going to be a special film. I was very passionate about this one. When we were filming Mimi, Laxman Utekar used to tell me, ‘You will win a National Award for this’.”

Speaking on the occasion, Rajamouli said, “I am a filmmaker who makes films for the audience and that is my first aim. Awards are just like a bonus but when you get 6 National Awards for your film, we feel very very happy.”

“I will be unfair in saying that it is my film. It is a film about Mr Nambi Narayanan and it is done by the team of Rocketry. So, I feel very elated that we are being recognised for our efforts. The greatest happiness is the recognition that Nambi Narayanan sir is getting. He is becoming a household name and that is the power of art and for that, I am very grateful,” Madhavan said on the red carpet.
