Jani Master’s award suspended

The National Film Awards Cell of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has suspended the National Film Award to be presented to choreographer Jani Master citing allegations of sexual assault.

Jani Master, whose real name is Shaik Jani Basha, would have been felicitated at the ceremony for his work on the song “Megham Karukkatha” from 2022’s Tamil movie “Thiruchitrambalam”.
