PNS|New Delhi
After a two year hiatus, the 69th National Film Awards were announced by the Government of India today in a special conference today. Almost 280 films from 28 languages were submitted for the awards in year 2021, with 31 categories in Feature film, 24 in non-feature and 3 in script writing on cinema.
As expected, Telugu hero Allu Arjun grabbed the coveted “Best Actor” trophy for 2021, at the National Film Awards which were announced on Thursday. For his phenomenal performance in the movie “Pushpa: The Rise” which was carved by creative genius Sukumar, Allu Arjun got his first-ever National Award. Coming to the heroines, both Alia Bhatt and Kriti Sanon shared the “Best Actress” trophy, for their stunning performance, and makeover in the films, Gangubhai Kathiawadi and Mimi respectively. Also, Devi Sri Prasad won ‘Best Music Director’ trophy for Pushpa: The Rise.
Indeed, this is a great moment for the Telugu audience and Telugu cinema lovers in general as the film “Pushpa” has not only done exceptionally well at the box office but also created a huge impact when it comes to south content being approved by the Bollywood audience. Even though RRR also bagged many awards, this one by Allu Arjun is special in its own ways.
Infact, in a video surfaced online, Allu Arjun was surrounded by his family and the team of Pushpa, including director Sukumar. As soon as his name was announced, the room erupted in cheers.
An emotional Arjun was seen hugging Sukumar while their family and friends celebrated. Arjun and Sukumar were visibly emotional as they held on to each other a moment longer to truly take in the moment.
