Manoj Bajpayee on Gulmohar's National Award, "An important film on filial ties"

At the National Awards ceremony in New Delhi on October 8, actor Manoj Bajpayee reflected on his film Gulmohar, emphasizing its significance in exploring familial relationships. The film has garnered three National Awards, including a special mention for Bajpayee's performance.

Arun Batra's character was wonderful. Suddenly, he feels that family is not his. He appreciates his family but is unable to connect to them any longer, so that is where it (the friction) starts. Gulmohar is an important film in modern times when families are breaking."

Veteran actor Sharmila Tagore, who was also a part of the movie, shared a bit about her character in it, "I was kind of a matriarch in it. It is my favourite film, and I am here to cheer for Rahul Chittella (the director). The film is still being liked and watched. It has become popular amongst every age group. I am very happy with the film and congratulations to Rahul. It's his first film!"

Featuring Suraj Sharma, Kaveri Seth, and Amol Palekar, Gulmohar is currently streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar and has won big at the prestigious National Awards
