Ameer against awards to Rajini?

The Film Journalists’ Association’s awards were presented recently to Ameer, Na. Muthu Kumar, Ram, Venkat Prabhu and Viji. Speaking at the function Ameer said that usually at the awards ceremonies the awards for the actors and actresses would be announced with much fanfare in the end but this function differed from the rest by announcing

the best director’s award at the last. He added that a director is the one who toils hard for a film’s success but the recognition is lapped up by the hero and heroine. Ameer made a humble request to all the awards committees not to select Rajinikanth or Vijay blindly but to choose the best film and actors. He, however, added that he was not against Rajinikanth but wanted to point out not to select him for awards when his film did not hit the screens that year.
