After ‘Chhichhore’ bagged ‘Best Hindi Film’ accolade at the prestigious 67th National Film Awards, actor Varun Sharma dedicated the award to the film’s late star Sushant Singh Rajput. The college drama featured the late actor alongside Shraddha Kapoor, Varun Sharma, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Naveen Polishetty, Saharsh Kumar Shukla and Tushar Pandey in pivotal roles.
Sharma took to Twitter and dedicated the award to his late co-star and shared a picture of the announcement.
He wrote, “A Film which is truly special to all of us. A Film which is very close to our Hearts. This one is for you Kammo,” and added a red heart emoticon.
‘Chhichhore’ is a movie full of nostalgia, with themes of friendship and college life.
The film revolves around Anni (played by Sushant) and his college buddies. It showcases how their lives undergo major changes after they all graduate. One part of the film shows the friends in their college and how they strive to win a competition and the second part features them all grown up.
The gang, who separate after college, reunite years later in a hospital when one of their friends is in an accident. The film, which is directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, hit the big screens on September 6 in 2019 and was a blockbuster hit.
The 67th National Film Awards announced the honours to the entertainment industry’s best talent for the year 2019 after getting delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
