2000- National Award- Dr. Ambedkar
When the makers of the movie Ambedkar were confused over who would don the role of the most popular Dalit in the country, the architect of Indian Constitution –it is said that they just had to watch one movie clipping to decide their man. The honour went to one of Indian cinemas most versatile actors- Mammootty. It was a defining moment a Muslim playing the role of a dalit here.
Mammootty spent almost close to a year going through books and articles in Ambedkar his life, his mannerisms etc. The brilliant actor had to go through hours of make up and dental manipulations to get The rightlook. When the movie was finally released, it was widely acclaimed in several leading film Festivals. People could not believe their eyes when they saw the glamour-king Mammootty In a completed make over. It was life-like Ambedkar. So convincing and brilliant was his Perfomance that he was awarded the National Award for the best actor in 2000.
