Stellar presence at awards night

The awards ceremony was hosted by Rana Daggubati and Mirchi Shiva for the Tamil category, whereas Tini Tom and Pearle Maaney did the honours for Malayalam cinema. Rana also joined Nani to host the Telugu films segment, while Akul Balaji and Meghana Gaonkar hosted the Kannada cinema celebrations. 

Celebrities were dressed to the nines as they sashayed down the green carpet. Of the lot, Aditi Rao Hydari looked splendid in a Nikhil Thampi creation, while Adah Sharma raised the temperatures in a fire-engine red gown with a plunging neckline. Also rocking the green carpet was Akshara Haasan in a pretty lehenga choli with a funky hairdo.
