Manju Warrier, Suriya, others win at SIIMA Awards: Full list of winners
The winners of South Indian International Movie Awards or SIIMA were announced on September 18 and 19 at the award ceremony which was held in Hyderabad. The event was attended by celebrities from Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam film industries. Well-known actors such as Allu Arjun, Chiranjeevi, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Mohanlal, Manju Warrier, Rashmika Mandanna, Dhanush and Suriya, among others, bagged awards under different categories. Team SIIMA 2021 had released the nomination list for movies that released in both 2019 and 2020 since the award ceremony couldn’t be held in view of the pandemic-induced lockdown in 2019.
Tamil film Soorarai Pottru won seven awards at the awards, while other films such as Kaithi, Asuran and Lucifer also won titles under multiple categories. Actor Suriya, who was unable to attend the event, sent a video extending his gratitude for the awards conferred upon him and his team for Soorarai Pottru. The awards were also attended by veteran filmmaker K Vishwanath, who was conferred with the Lifetime Achievement award. Actors Chiranjeevi and Radhika presented the award to the veteran filmmaker.
The film fraternity also paid their respects and remembered late playback singer SP Balasubrahmanyam at SIIMA 2021. SPB, who is a household name in Tamil Nadu as well as other parts of the country, passed away on September 25 last year due to COVID-19 complications.
The photos of various celebrities from SIIMA and their red-carpet looks have gone viral online.
