1 Aug
Summary
- Naseeruddin Shah rejects lifetime achievement awards, citing his active career.
- Film 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' celebrates 50 days in theaters, a rare feat.
- Shah proud of his role in 'Main Vaapas Aaunga', thanks audience for support.
Naseeruddin Shah is basking in the success of Imtiaz Ali's 'Main Vaapas Aaunga', which has achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success, notably completing 50 days in theaters.
Shah, who also received praise for his portrayal of JRD Tata in 'Made in India', has actively rejected several lifetime achievement awards offered to him recently. He views such accolades as a signal that one's work is complete, a sentiment he explicitly denies as he has no intention of retiring from acting.
The actor expressed his gratitude towards the audience for their support of 'Main Vaapas Aaunga'. "I feel very fortunate to have been a part of this film, and I'm extremely proud of it," he stated during a success bash held in Mumbai.
'Main Vaapas Aaunga', a period drama produced by Birla Studios and Applause Entertainment, is set against the backdrop of Partition-era memories. It stars Diljit Dosanjh and features Naseeruddin Shah as a 95-year-old man revisiting his past. Shah's career, which began in the mid-1970s, includes multiple National Awards.
