The IARA, however, is not the first international accolade for the 2017 action drama directed by Atlee. Mersal also won the Best Foreign Language Film at the 4th edition of the National Film Awards UK 2018 in April. Actor Vijay was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor Award for the film.
The ceremony took place on September 22 at Hilton Hotel, Canary Wharf in London. However, actor Vijay gave the event a miss.
