Director Priyadarshan who is receiving accolades for his recent film Sila Samayangalil has been appointed as the head of National award jury team. According to reports, he said, “I am now getting mentally prepared for this huge responsibility, and the only thing on my mind right now is to see that the only criterion which will be before me when we see the films, is the merit in each of the films.
