viJay, aCtor, nanu avanalla<br />
avalu (kannada)<br />
Vijay bagged the Best Actor National award for his poignant portrayal of a woman trapped in a man's body in the Kannada<br />
fi lm "Nanu Avanalla Avalu" (I am not a he, but she). Vijay, whose other film "Harivu" bagged the Best Kannada Film award,"<br />
said: "I am doubly elated." "Playing the character of a transgender was very difficult though I had played this character earlier<br />
in the tri-lingual Prakash Raj-starrer fi lm, but that was a very small role”, he says. The award winning film, directed by B S<br />
Lingadevaru, narrates the life of a transgender. The fi lm is based on "I am Vidya, an autobiography of Living Smile Vidya."<br />

Actor Churni Ganguly, whose directorial debut ‘Nirbashito’ won the Best Bengali Film award and the Best<br />
Audiography (Re-recordist of the final mixed track) at the 62nd National Award category, said she felt<br />
speechless after getting the news. "There was a sudden emptiness within me after I got the news that my<br />
first film bagged the national honour. It can't be defined," Churni said. ‘Nirbashito’, feted internationally at<br />
different festivals, is based on the life of exiled Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen and her cat.<br />
