National Award-winning actor Allu Arjun has once again captured hearts—not just with his performance, but with his humility. The star was recently honoured with the prestigious Gaddar Award for Best Actor, an accolade that celebrates outstanding performances rooted in mass appeal and deep emotional resonance. Arjun, who won the National Film Award for Best Actor in 2023 for Pushpa: The Rise, graciously dedicated this latest honour to his loyal fan base and the hardworking team behind the Pushpa franchise.
A Tribute to Fans
Accepting the award, Allu Arjun stated, “This award is not just mine—it belongs to the millions of fans who have stood by me through every step of my journey. Your love, cheers, and endless support are the real reason I keep pushing myself.” The actor’s fan-first approach has long been a defining trait of his stardom, and his emotional speech drew applause from the audience.
Gratitude for Director Sukumar
Arjun also credited director Sukumar, the visionary filmmaker behind the Pushpa saga, for shaping his performance and pushing the boundaries of storytelling. “Sukumar sir believed in me when this character was still a rough sketch. He turned Pushpa Raj into an unforgettable force. Working with him has been one of the most creatively fulfilling experiences of my life,” Arjun said.

The actor’s nuanced portrayal of the red sandalwood smuggler Pushpa Raj, with his rugged charm and fierce determination, has not only earned him critical acclaim but also made Pushpa a pan-India blockbuster.
Spotlight on Pushpa 2: The Rule
With anticipation building around the sequel, Pushpa 2: The Rule, Arjun acknowledged the entire crew for their dedication. “This award is also for every technician, artist, and team member working tirelessly on Pushpa 2. We’re pouring our hearts into this film, and I can’t wait for audiences to witness what we’ve created.”
Set for a grand release in 2025, Pushpa 2 promises to escalate the action, drama, and emotional depth of its predecessor, with Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil reprising their roles.
As Allu Arjun continues to dominate the Indian film landscape, his heartfelt dedication of the Gaddar Award reminds us that even the biggest stars shine brighter with the love of their fans—and the support of a visionary team.
