There were a number of controversies surrounding the National Award for ‘Mhorkya’. Being a director who has struggled his way to the top, Amar was eager to accept the National Award from the President. When the news hit that most of the 2018 awards will not be given out by the President, Amar was reluctant to accept the National Award.
