Chhichhore was declared the Best Hindi Film at the 67th National Film Awards on Monday. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala and actor Varun Sharma dedicated the win to late Sushant Singh Rajput, lead actor of the film.
"On behalf of NGE (Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment), I dedicate this extremely prestigious award to Sushant Singh Rajput. We can't get over his loss ever but I sincerely pray that this award gives a little bit of happiness to his family and fans which includes me. And I am tremendously grateful to Nitesh Tiwari for giving
us all this very special movie," Said Sajid, in a statement released to the press.
Varun said, "This is a huge validation and we are truly overwhelmed. This win means the world to us. But above all of this, this one is for Kammo (Varun's character would call Sushant as Kammo in the film), and will always remain closest to our hearts."
"Chhichhore is one of the most special films of my career. We had a lovely time shooting for the film. We are thrilled to have won the National Film Award for the Best Hindi Film," he added.
