The decision to host the 72nd National Film Awards in Kevadia, Gujarat, has sparked widespread discussions across the Indian film industry. Traditionally organized in New Delhi, the prestigious event is moving outside the national capital as part of a fresh policy initiative aimed at celebrating cinema in different regions.
While several industry figures raised concerns about shifting the venue away from Delhi or major cinema hubs, veteran actor Paresh Rawal strongly backed the choice, stating that Gujarat is an integral part of the country and fully capable of hosting such a monumental gathering.
Responding to public discussions and criticisms surrounding the move, the veteran actor questioned why anyone should object to hosting national events outside New Delhi, pointing out that every state deserves the opportunity to showcase and host major national celebrations.
He stressed that bringing such prestigious honors to different parts of India aligns with the idea of celebrating unity and regional diversity, emphasizing that taking national events to various states strengthens national integration.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting echoed similar sentiments, highlighting that moving the ceremony to Ekta Nagar near the iconic Statue of Unity reflects the spirit of national unity.
Scheduled for September 22, the 72nd National Film Awards will feature prominent winners across multiple Indian languages, honoring top achievements in feature, non-feature, and documentary storytelling from across the nation.
With elaborate arrangements underway to welcome artists, technicians, and dignitaries, the landmark event marks a significant shift in how India’s highest cinematic honors are celebrated.
