Aditi Rao Hydari to receive Dadasaheb Phalke Award for Bhoomi

Mumbai: After Anushka Sharma, Ranveer Singh and Kriti Sanon, another name has been added to the list who are confirmed to receive Dadasaheb Phalke Award this year for their contribution towards Indian cinema. Aditi Rao Hydari will also be conferred with Dadasaheb Phalke Excellence Award 2018 for the Best Leading Lady (Critics Award) for her stellar performance in Bhoomi.
Aditi Rao Hydari received much adulation for her performance in Omung Kumar’s Bhoomi, in which she played a gangrape victim. Her character resonated well among both critics and audience. After Bhoomi, she featured for a short yet effective role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat, in which she essayed the role of Alauddin Khilji’s wife. Though her role was short on screen, but the impact she left behind was praiseworthy.
The award ceremony is scheduled on April 21, 2018, at St. Andrews Auditorium in Mumbai. It will be attended by producers, directors, distributors and exhibitors among others from the film fraternity. Anushka Sharma will be honored with the coveted award for her production ventures. Also, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor will be conferred with Dadasaheb Excellence Award for their respective performances in Padmaavat.
