Ranveer Singh’s Gully Boy received the Best Film award and Andhadhun director Sriram Raghavan was honoured with the Best Director award. While Tabu picked up the Best Actress award for Andhadhun, Vijay Sethupathi walked away with the Best Actor award for his hit Tamil film Super Deluxe. Rohit Shetty directorial Simmba took home the People’s Choice award.
Shah Rukh Khan was honoured with the Excellence in Cinema award and twenty years of his film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was also celebrated at the festival. Being a sport, Shah Rukh shook a leg with young performers on the beats of Gully Boy. Later, he even did the hook step of his popular song “Chaiyya Chaiyya”. Not only this, he stepped out of the car to click selfies with fans who were excited to have him in Melbourne.
