The award was presented by Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka.

“I dedicate this award to my fans,” Allu Arjun declared, acknowledging the unwavering support that has helped him reach such heights in his career.

Arjun Rampal’s Intense Transformation for Rana Naidu 2
Some roles require more than just acting—they demand complete transformation. Arjun Rampal, known for his powerful screen presence, is taking on one of his most challenging roles yet in Rana Naidu 2. This time, he steps into the shoes of the formidable villain Rauf, going head-to-head with the towering Rana Daggubati. But to hold his own on screen, Arjun had to do much more than deliver a compelling performance — he had to physically transform himself.
In a recent interview with Bollywood media, Arjun opened up about the intense preparation behind his role. Standing next to Rana Daggubati, whose sheer size and commanding presence dominate the frame, Arjun realized he needed to match that physical stature. The result: an impressive 14-kilogram weight gain, achieved through focused training and strict discipline, allowing him to embody the menacing aura of Rauf.
However, the transformation wasn’t limited to his physique. Arjun also delved deep into the psychological aspects of the character. While he’s familiar with playing villainous roles, Rauf demanded a new level of emotional commitment. Arjun admitted that the mental toll of such intense characters can be exhausting, but he embraced the challenge, even finding joy in the process.
What helped him truly bring Rauf to life was his collaboration with the director and writers. Together, they shaped a character who isn’t just intimidating but also layered with unpredictability, dark humor, and emotional depth. Arjun’s goal was to ensure Rauf wasn’t a one-dimensional villain but a character who keeps the audience intrigued with every scene.
With his combination of physical transformation and layered performance, Arjun Rampal promises to deliver a villain that will leave a lasting impact in Rana Naidu 2.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu is no longer confined to just acting — she has successfully diversified her career into multiple arenas. Once recognized primarily for her roles on-screen, Samantha has now become a multifaceted entrepreneur. She launched her own clothing brand Saaki World, invested in wellness startup Secret Alchemist and superfood brand Nourish You, and most recently, founded her own production house Tralala Moving Pictures in 2025.

In a candid interview, Samantha shared her evolved perspective on success. For her, it’s no longer about fame or box office hits. “Freedom is success,” she stated. “It’s about not feeling trapped, having the space to grow, and doing things that bring me happiness.” Despite not having a major film release in the past two years, she expressed feeling more content than ever.
