Mohanlal who was tipped to get the 55th National Film Awards for 2007 for his brilliant performance as Valiyakathu Moosa in Pardesi(see pic), lost it by a whisker to Prakash Raj.
A source close to one of the jury members said: “Till the last round Mohanlal was the front runner to get the awards. In the final round, he and Prakash Raj got equal number of votes from the jury members. Finally it was the jury chairman’s casting vote which made Prakash the winner.”
This is not the first time where Mohanlal missed the Bharat Award like this in 1989 he missed it for Kireedom, 1996 for Iruvar, 2005 Thanmathra, and in 2007 for Pardesi !! His tally should have been 7 by now as there many other times he missed the same !!
Anyway Praksah raj did deserved the award and it was an exceptional performance- Best of Luck for the Next time !!
