Chennai, Jan. 30 -- Filmmaker Pa Ranjith has raised questions about the fairness and honesty of award bodies at both the state and national levels.

His comments have come shortly after the Tamil Nadu government announced the State Film Awards and State Television Awards.

Following the announcement, the filmmaker took to his X account to express his doubts, speaking about "integrity" and questioning whether award organizations truly operate in a fair manner.

Questioning the system, Ranjith wrote, "In light of the Tamil Nadu government announcing the film awards, I have a question for you: Do government and private award organizations, at both the Tamil Nadu and national levels, truly operate with integrity?"
