The glitz of Ugadi festivities reached new heights at the Telangana Gaddar Film Awards in Hyderabad, where South India’s iconic Chiranjeevi was honored with the NTR National Film Award. This prestigious accolade capped a night of tributes to Telugu film’s luminaries.
Watching his father accept the award, Ram Charan shared a touching post on social media platform X. Overflowing with pride, he thanked the organizers: ‘A big thank you to Telangana Gaddar Film Awards for this magnificent celebration of cinema. Kudos to every winner. For us, seeing Chiranjeevi garlanded with the NTR National Award is pure joy and tears. His unwavering commitment and passion have lighted paths for so many in the industry.’
He didn’t forget to applaud CM Revanth Reddy and the Telangana government for their visionary support. The event buzzed with star power—Suma Kanakala and Pradeep Machiraju kept the energy high as hosts. Highlights included Nidhhi Agerwal’s captivating dance routine, electrifying performances from Shreya Ghoshal, DSP, and Mangli, plus vibrant displays of local traditions.
Fresh off the success of ‘Vishwambhara,’ a box-office smash mixing thrills, laughs, and emotions under Anil Ravipudi’s direction, Chiranjeevi’s star shines brighter. Ram Charan’s emotional tribute underscores a family bond forged in cinematic excellence, inspiring fans everywhere.
