Do award Committees keep spare another alternative actor to receive an award? If the artist who won the award fails to attend the event, will the award go to another who can be physically present at the award ceremony? Is it the same culture here in Tollywood and there in Bollywood?
A recent Award Show is a big example on how there is a culture of informing stars before hand about the award and if the actor can’t make it to the event, they keep an alternative ready to hand over the award to another actor. Ranveer Singh was chosen for the best actor award. If he had failed to attend physically, the award would have gone to Salman (?). Thank God, Ranveer did attend!
However, another talented actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui lost the award in best villain category only because he couldn’t make it to the event pertaining to his busy schedule and work commitments. This kind of culture is prevailing because the awards show organisers are more concerned about the TRPs and satellite rights.
A star actor present for any show would attract huge TRPs. Hence this wrong kind of culture is prevalent regardless whether it is Tollywood or Bollywood.
