Out of rage for not awarding the best actor award to Mammootty, a section of his fans lashed out against the National Awards jury chairman Rahul Rawail on social media.
The chairman sent a mail to Mammootty regarding the cyber-attack he is facing.
Rawail’s FB post:
Hi
Mr.Mammoty. There has been a lot of 'hate mail', that to extremely nasty, that I have been receiving from your fans, or so called fan clubs, as to why you were not given the National Award as Best Actor for the film 'Peranbo'. Let me set the record straight:
Firstly, NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO QUESTION A JURY DECISION.
Secondly, your film 'Peerambu' had been REJECTED by the Regional Panel and hence did not contend in the Central Panel.
Your fans and/or devotees should stop fighting a lost cause. ‘
Never question a Jury!
In another post, the chairman said that Mammootty apologized for the incident.
Mammootty’s message:
‘Sorry sir. I have no knowledge about it
Still I apologize for what had happened’
