Ranvir Shorey Nominated For ‘Best Supporting Actor’ For Sonchiriya At The 65th Amazon Filmfare Awards


Known for his presence in cutting-edge cinema, actor Ranvir Shorey’s body of work is dotted with fashionably unconventional yet culturally resonant choices. An actor par excellence, who inhabits every character without any sign of strain, Ranvir Shorey has recently been nominated for the ‘Best Supporting Actor’ for his role of Vakil Singh in Abhishek Chaubey’s Sonchiriya at the 65th Amazon Filmfare Awards. Pegged to be one of the most memorable performances of his career, Ranvir Shorey who had prepared extensively for the character’s semantics, enthuses, “I am very happy that Sonchiriya has been nominated for the Filmfare Awards in the critic’s choice section and I am happy that the film is getting the acknowledgement it deserves, which it probably didn’t get as much at the box office. And I’m equally happy that I am nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category. It’s a happy surprise for me! But most of all, I am rooting for Sonchiriya because it is one film that I am very proud of and always will be.”

This year, and as always, the Filmfare Awards will honour the skillset and talent bundle of Bollywood’s finest. With films of the likes of Sonchiriya, Gully Boy, Article 15, Kabir Singh, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, and War among others, the prestigious award function is all set to dazzle the audiences and the film fraternity alike!

When quizzed about awards and accolades, if they matter, the character-driven actor quips, “I guess they matter more to people who get less of them and less to people who get a lot of them, just like everything else in life!” Ranvir Shorey has recently bagged the Best Actor Award (Male) for Halkaa at the Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Awards and Best Actor Comedy (Male) for Metro Park at Gold Awards, the Best Actor Award (Critic’s Choice) for Titli at IFEFA, Australia and the Best Actor Award at Iconic Achievers’ Awards among others. “Awards and accolades do have their place in the ecosystem, and for me too, they do hold a special place. It feels nice to be recognized, and particularly so, if it’s an audience-polled award or a critic’s choice award. But awards are not everything, one works for so many other things as well,” he signs off.

Besides Ranvir Shorey, Diljit Dosanjh has been nominated for the same category for his film Good Newwz, Gulshan Devaiah for Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, Manoj Pahwa for Article 15, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Vijay Verma for Gully Boy at the 65th Amazon Filmfare Awards 2020 which is slated to be held on 15 February, 2020 in Assam.
