Sun TV Network is launching a new awards show, Comedy Awards 2014, to acknowledge the comedy genre and its performers.
According to the network, like music, comedy also plays a pertinent role in entertaining the audience. "South Indian films have a reputation of creating some of the biggest stalwarts in comedy. Despite its importance, when it comes to rewarding the work done by comedians there has not been much. All film awards will have just one or two categories for comedies. Incidentally, music has its own awards as well."
Viewers of Adithya (Tamil), Gemini (Telugu) and Udaya (Kannada) comedy will also have a chance to vote for their favourite comedian through SMS and ballot boxes that will be kept at various strategic locations across these three states - Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The awards will be telecast on May 2 and 3.
