Bollywood's oldest and one of the most awards shows of the year has been done away with. The 64th Vimal Filmfare Awards had been hosted by the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Rajkummar Rao and Ranveer Singh. Like every year, the award ceremony once again honoured the most popular of the actors and the movies of last year. Talking about Best Actor award in a Supporting Role category, we had six nominees that are equally formidable and strong. 64th Vimal Filmfare Awards: Shah Rukh Khan Enthralls the Audience in his Signature Style; Janhvi Kapoor, Mouni Roy, Join the Superstar.
