For Kamal, who had received many a awards for his acting, this 'Rational Award' is going to be a new one.
The rationalist from Kerala Dr. Kovoor was considered to be the 'Periyar of Kerala'. He died in the year 1979. After his demise, every year 'Rational award' is being given in memory of Dr. Kovoor.

This award is going to be given to Kamal this year. This is being given for his service to the art, and for not losing his Rational thinking in the world of sentiment Cinema.

This 'Kovoor Award' will be given on behalf of Barathiya Yukthivadi Sangam 'based in Kochi. This award is going to be given to Kamalhasan on coming 16th.

A very big function is being arranged to give away this award. Kamal, who is at present in Mumbai, may go straight to Kochi to receive this award.

If he can 'buy' a little bit of rational thinking for the politicians here, who insist on changing the name of the films. It would do lot of good for Tamil Cinema.
