"Feel happy, delighted," says film producer Gudur Narayana Reddy as Telangana government announced three Gaddar Awards for 'Razakar'
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], May 29 (ANI): 'Razakar' film producer Gudur Narayana Reddy expressed happiness after the Telangana state government announced three Gaddar Awards for his film. Speaking to ANI, Gudur Narayana Reddy said, 'I feel happy and delighted, because this movie Razakar has won three awards from the state, one for the Best Historical film, the other for the best music director, and the third one is the best Makeup man. I'm really happy with my first debut movie. If I could earn this, it would be a real encouragement, and I thank and appreciate for getting this encouragement from the state government.' 'Razakar' is a Telugu historical action drama film written and directed by Yata Satyanarayana. It is based on the events leading up to Operation Polo in the former Princely State of Hyderabad. In September 1948, Hyderabad was annexed by India through a military operation code-named Operation Polo, which was dubbed a 'police action'. As per the press release, the film provides a gripping narrative of the genocide undertaken by the Razakars, a paramilitary group loyal to the Nizam of Hyderabad, which committed mass murders and spread terror among the populace. This dark chapter prompted Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the then Home Minister, to initiate swift actions that culminated in the historic Operation Polo, leading to Hyderabad's annexation into the Indian Union. 'Razakar' also explores the political manoeuvres of Hyderabad's last Nizam, Osman Ali Khan, and his attempts to maintain independence, providing a comprehensive view of a pivotal moment in Indian history. The film stars 'Jigarthanda' actor Bobby Simha, 'Swades' fame Makarand Deshpande, Raj Arjun, and Vedika in pivotal roles. (ANI)

Gaddar Film Awards ceremony to be held on June 14
Hyderabad: The State government has decided to organise the much-touted 'Gaddar Film Awards' event on June 14. As many as 1,248 applications have been received for awards in various categories for this first major event being organised in the name of revolutionary poet and singer Gaddar. During a jury meeting for the Gaddar Awards at the LV Prasad Cine Lab on Tuesday, Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka said that the state government has decided to organise the event at a grand scale which will be on par with any international film award ceremony. He urged committee members and officials to make this event a success which would leave a mark internationally, set new standards and become a topic of discussion at global level. These should serve as an inspiration for future generations. He highlighted that the film industry in Telangana has faced neglect over the past decade, noting that the distribution of film awards has been halted since 2011, which has hindered the growth of the industry. 'We are fortunate that Gaddar was born in Telangana. Gaddar was instrumental in sharing the essence and culture of Telangana with the world. He articulated the principles of Telangana culture to the state, the nation, and beyond,' he said. He pointed out that the present Congress government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, has resolved to revitalise the film industry, which has lacked promotion for the past ten years, and is dedicated to providing comprehensive support for its development in Telangana. The Deputy Chief Minister urged the jury members to assess films for awards without consideration of personal relationships or prejudices.
