The National Award came as a surprise, says Saurabh Shukla!

Well-known actor-writer Saurabh Shukla, who played a judge in the light-hearted legal drama "Jolly LLB", tells the National Award for his role in the film came as a surprise to him.

The 61st National Film Awards were announced here Wednesday and the actor has been named the best supporting actor for his role in "Jolly LLB", which has also been adjudged the best Hindi film.

"It came as a surprise to me ... I was not expecting this. This award has made my day," Saurabh said.

"National Award is a prestigious award ... it encourages you and keeps you going. I have no words to explain my feelings," he told.

The Subhash Kapoor-directed film also starred Boman Irani and Arshad Warsi.


"I am not just happy for myself, but also for the film as it has got the best Hindi film award," told Saurabh.

Director Saurabh Shukla supports adult content!

Noted actor-director Saurabh Shukla has come out in defense of adult content in movies these days and says that everything has a reason behind it.
"People say that there is abusive language in the film so it is a vulgar film. But it's not like that. Look at the real motive behind it," Saurabh told on the sets of his new movie "Love Kiya Aur Lagg Gayi".
"You will not call Michelangelo's paintings porn paintings. But there is nudity in them and there is nudity in porn. But the meaning behind the two is different," Saurabh said adding that the censor board gives certificates and if a film is certified an adult film, "Don’t go with your family, simple".
"Delhi Belly", "Pyaar Ka Punchnama" and lately "Kya Super Kool Hain Hum" were some of the comedies that were laden with heavy dose of abuses while "Jism 2", "Jannat 2" and "Hate Story" were high on sexual content.
Saurabh, who has directed movies like "Raat Gayi Baat Gayi" and "Pappu Can't Dance Saala," has put direction on the backburner for now.
"I am not directing anything right now because I am concentrating on my acting assignments. But soon a film directed by me will be out, 'I M 24'," Saurabh told.
"I M 24" stars Rajat Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, Lillete Dubey and Manjari Fadnis and Saurabh himself.
Talking about his upcoming assignments, Saurabh told, "I have been busy completing my acting assignments and 'Barfi' is one of my films which you will get to see in September. I have a great role in it."
"After that, there is Subhash Kapoor's film 'Jolly L.L.B.', who made 'Phas Gaye Re Obama'. So, I am only concentrating on writing and when I get free from my acting assignments, then I'll turn to direction again," he added.
