At National Film Awards ceremony, Rajini honoured with Dadasaheb Phalke Award – Event stills
Rajinikanth received his Dadasaheb Phalke Award, India’s highest film honour, from Vice President Venkaiah Naidu at New Delhi’s Vigyan Bhawan today.
The actor attended the ceremony with his son-in-law Dhanush, who won the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in Asuran. Latha Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Dhanush accompanied them.
Speaking on the occasion, the superstar thanked his brother, friend and the people of Tamil Nadu.
Rajinikanth on Sunday shared a statement on Twitter about receiving the award and called it one of the “two special landmarks” – the other one being his daughter Soundarya Vishagan’s new app named Hoote, which is to be launched this evening. In his statement, Rajinikanth wrote: “Tomorrow is an important occasion for me with two special landmarks. One, Dadasaheb Phalke Award, being conferred upon me by the Government of India because of the love and support of the people.”
