However, both Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan are, as expected, contending in the Best Actor category for their performances in above mentioned movies. Interestingly, Rishi Kapoor is also nominated in the same category for his performance in the small-budget film Do Dooni Char.
In the Best Director category, too, Abhinav Kashyap and Karan Johar are missing. Rather, Maneesh Sharma has made it for his direction in Band Baaja Baaraat.
