Why the delay in presenting the awards
The Tamil Nadu state government reinstated the awards in 2017 after it was brought to a halt in 2008. The government, since then, has recognised the films that were released between 2009 and 2014. This year, it decided to honour the top talents in regional cinema for the year 2015-2016.
