Dinesh Kumar: He was declared the best choreographer for his gloriously charming and earthy number, which captures the ecstasy of a lover like never before, Otha Sollalae from Aadukalam.

Kishore: Editor Kishore won the National award for his razor-sharp editing in Aadukalam.

Jayabalan: He was honored with a special award for his Iago-inspired villainous character in Aadukalam. It was a chilling portrayal of a man who would sting with a smile and a friendly arm thrown over the shoulder. This role will definitely be talked about way into the future.
