Who can win Best Actor Awards?
As the 68th National Film Awards are to be announced in a few hours, Twitterati feel that Tamil superstar Suriya Sivakumar deserves to win Best actor award for his performance in Soorarai Pottru in which he played Nedumaaran Rajangam a.k.a. Maara. If this happens, it would be his first National Film Award.
