President of Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce S V Rajendra Singh Babu on said he will request the government to increase subsidy for award winning national films to Rs 50 lakh.

He was speaking at an event to honour winners of the 63rd National Film Awards on Wednesday. He said in states like Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh, national award winning films are given an aid of Rs 1 crore.

Babu also suggested that the life and achievements of late thespian Rajkumar be popularised nationally and internationally. He said the chamber also planned to translate Rajkumar’s biography to English.

Filmmaker Girish Kasaravalli said  the film fraternity is proud of the Kannada film industry for getting four awards. He said many Bollywood films did not deserve the nationaward. He said directors must take note of the fall in quality of filmmaking.
