New Delhi: Indian filmmaker AR Murugadoss on Friday took to Twitter to express his disappointment over the recently announced 64th National Awards. The 42-year-old director alleged bias and stated that 'influence & partiality' of people in the jury can be sensed.

"#NationalAwards Can clearly witness the influence & partiality of people in jury, it's biased," he posted on the social media.
