Joju George earned a special jury mention for his performance in the film 'Joseph' at the National Film Awards in 2019, while Biju Menon is a two-time winner of the Kerala State Film Award for Second Best Actor. This year, 142 films were entered in several categories for the awards. Because of the epidemic, a large number of Malayalam films were directly published on streaming platforms, and both theatrical and direct digital releases were considered for the prize.

And 29 films made it to the final stage, where they were judged by a panel led by Bollywood filmmaker and screenwriter Saeed Akhtar Mirza, who also served as the panel's chairperson. And, because the jury had to choose from a sea of films, it had to be exceptional.
