Rian Mukherjee wins Best Child Actor at Los | Indian Movie News
Debutant actor Rian Mukherjee wins the Best Child Actor Award at the distinguished Los Angeles Film Awards 2026 for his Hindi movie Manzil. Directed by his father and National Award-winning filmmaker Ram Kamal Mukherjee, the lead actors of the movie are Rituparna Sengupta, Sanjay Suri, and Abhishek Kumar. Produced under the banners of Dhanbad Talkies and Endeavour Films, the movie follows the journey of a author and a photographer who by accident meet at a resort.
Rian performs the function of Aron, son of author Ananya, performed by Rituparna Sengupta, who turns into an integral half of the narrative through his presence. “I am delighted that the jury members felt Rian’s performance was worth recognition,” says his father and filmmaker Ram Kamal Mukherjee. “I think he is a gifted actor, as he never had any formal training, yet he faced the camera and knew his lines by heart,” he added.
Rituparna Sengupta, who performs Rian’s mom in the movie, was thrilled as properly. “I have literally seen him grow before my eyes. I still remember seeing Rian when he was born. Ram and Sarbani are like family, and when Ram decided to cast Rian as my son in the film, I knew he would leave an impact,” added Rituparna, who also dons the hat of artistic producer for the movie. Produced by Rajesh Singh and Sharmistha Mukherjee, the movie is at the moment making the rounds at festivals globally. “Rian is a promising actor from India. He competed with international child actors and emerged as a winner because of his natural screen presence and restrained voice modulation in the given space,” added jury member and veteran actor Jean Vincentelli.
The first look at this movie was completely showcased at an award ceremony in Mumbai, where Rian’s screen presence was appreciated by distinguished actors current at the ceremony.
Rian is the only Indian to win at LAFA 2026, while the other winners are Jingnu Ning, who received the Best Picture Award for his movie A Palmful of Stars, and Phil Aman, who received the Best Actor trophy for Soundcheck. Nazakati Maihemuti bagged Best Actress for A Palmful Of Stars. “I am an accidental actor,” says Rian Mukherjee. “I enjoy acting because that’s the only time I get to see my Baba at work. He is extremely sincere towards his craft.”
