Highest quality films are made by Aamir and that he doesn’t care to be measured by any Indian award committee including national speaks loud,” RGV said in a series of tweets. Akshay Kumar has announced the Best Actor for his performance in Rustom at the National Awards this year. And amid adulation from his fans, many also cited his closeness to jury head Priyadarshan for Akshay’s win.

Priyadarshan clarified his stand and told indianexpress.com, “We considered both Rustom and Airlift and felt Akshay showed versatility.
