KOCHI: When this year's State film awards was announced on Tuesday, actor Nivin Pauly received jury’s special mention for his performance in Moothon but some media persons met with disappointemnt when they were sent back from his partment in Kochi.
Even half an hour before the announcement of the State film awards, media persons had reached Nivin’s apartment behind Kochi Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium for his bite on the State film awards.
The security men allowed them to park their vehicles near the apartment and allowed them to enter the compound but within a few minutes, the instruction came from the actor's family members that they vacate the compound.
The media persons initially thought that the instruction was given so as to avoid traffic jam but soon the security men gave that instruction again.
Thus they had to return without getting his reaction. Though the media persons tried to contact him via phone later, he was not available.
People in his circles had hinted that Nivin had expected the best actor award this time.
