The National Film Awards ceremony is relocating from Delhi to Kevadia, Gujarat, with President Droupadi Murmu scheduled to present the honors on September 22, 2026. This year's awards see Kartik Aaryan and Yami Gautam taking home the Best Actor and Best Actress titles, respectively.
'Article 370' has been named the Best Feature Film, and Yami Gautam also received individual recognition for her role in it. Meanwhile, Kartik Aaryan shares the Best Actor award for his performance in 'Chandu Champion'.
Randeep Hooda earned the Best Debut Director award for 'Swatantrya Veer Savarkar'. The film 'Kalki 2898 AD' will be honored for Best Popular film providing wholesome entertainment.
This move to Kevadia, home to the Statue of Unity, represents a departure from the awards' long-standing tradition of being held in Delhi's Vigyan Bhawan since 1954, though past ceremonies have occasionally been held elsewhere, such as Chennai in 1971.
