Superstar Rajinikanth has been conferred with the Dadasaheb Phalke for the year 2019 a short while ago. An announcement regarding the same was made earlier this year by Union Minister Prakash Javedkar. The prestigious award is being conferred to Rajinikanth for his invaluable contribution to the field of cinema.
The Dadasaheb Phalke Award for 2019 should have been announced last year but was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, as were the National Film Awards for 2019.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with a number of political big wigs and industry stars congratulated Superstar earlier this year on the announcement. He has been honoured with the Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan in the past.
Superstar Rajinikanth is now gearing up for his upcoming action-drama ‘Annaatthe’. The film also stars Nayanthara, Keerthy Suresh, Khushboo, and Prakash Raj.
The movie, which is now scheduled to release on November 4, was postponed several times due to the production delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
