It was an epitome of performance, said a critic, when Keerthy Suresh starrer Mahanati was released. Indeed it was. The actress essayed the role of yester year actress Savitri in the biopic Mahanati.

Keerthy Suresh has won the best actress National award for this film. The award winners list is being announced. Ayushmann Khurrana and Vicky Kaushal share the Best Actor Award for Andhadhun and Uri The Surgical Strikes.
