Salim Kumar's turn as an old man on a Haj pilgrimage in Adaminte Makan Abu has won him the national award for the Best Actor and he hopes that the honour will help break his comedian, mould. The film, directed by Salim Ahamed was also named the best feature film at the 58th National Awards. The movie is different form the stereotypical portrayed of the Muslim community. The actor said the film was an artistic attempt to project the essential goodness and nobility in humans. The Muslim community is depicted in many film as extremists but this is a work that brings out the nobility of all human begins beyond the barriers of religious divides. The film tells the story of an elderly Muslim couple who wish to perform the Haj pilgrimage despite financial constraints. But it should not be dubbed as a mere" Muslim story: The Film focused on basic human themes such as yearning for love and care and the need to protect nature from further assault by a greedy few.
