Improved to Good Article status by Ssven2 (talk). Nominated by Vensatry (talk) at 18:54, 7 April 2015 (UTC).

Starting with matters that are good-to-go: Promoted to GA status on 6 April 2015, within seven days of this nomination. QPQ performed, checks for copyvio reveals no problems (e.g. [1]), content in the hook is cited in the article to reliable sources, QPQ performed, all images in the article are properly licensed.

A problem is that the hook has verbatim paraphrasing of content listed at this source.

Hook: "...the first Indian film actor to win a "Best Actor" award in an International film festival"
Source: "...the first Indian film actor to win a 'Best Actor' award in an International film festival"

As such, the hook needs to be copy edited to correct this matter. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:00, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
