Mumbai: The first Gaddar Awards by the Telangana government were held in Hyderabad on Saturday evening. Allu Arjun had a full circle moment, believe fans, when he received the Best Actor award for Pushpa 2: The Rule from Telangana CM Revanth Reddy at the event. Many called it Arjun’s ‘redemption’, given that the CM was vocal in his criticism of Arjun after the Sandhya Theatre stampede.

Arjun looked proud as he received the award from Revanth Reddy, even saying the famous ‘thaggede le’ (will not back down) dialogue on stage before getting down. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Humbled and grateful to receive the Gaddar Award for Best Actor for #Pushpa2.”

He thanked the Telangana government, writing, “My heartfelt thanks to the Government of Telangana, The Honourable CM Sri @revanth_anumula Garu, Deputy CM @Bhatti_Mallu Garu, Cinematography Minister @KomatireddyKVR Garu, #DilRaju garu & all the Jury members for this honour and for celebrating cinema through such a wonderful initiative.”
