The ongoing South Indian International Movie Awards (SIIMA) 2017 could spring a surprise in the Best Actor and Actress category with Asha Sharath and Biju Menon being nominated for their performances in Anuraga Karikkin Vellam.
The Best Actress category is replete with talent powerhouses such as
Nayanthara, Sai Pallavi, Manju Warrier and Vedhika, while the Best Actor nominees include
Fahadh Faasil, Nivin Pauly,
Dulquer Salmaan and
Mohanlal.
Nivin Pauly and Nayanthara though seem to be favourites with both actors winning the Jio Filmfare Awards South (2017) for their performances in Action Hero Biju and Puthiya Niyamam, respectively.
