It was a historic moment for Allu Arjun when he became the first Telugu actor to win the Best Actor honour at the 69th National Film Awards. Fans were elated. But many users on the internet were quick to point out that Vicky Kaushal deserved it more for Sardar Udham. Many also claimed Suriya's Jai Bhim got snubbed as well.
 
 
Allu Arjun Pushpa National Film Awards Vicky Kaushal
 
It should be noted that Vicky Kaushal played the titular character of Sardar Udham Singh in the period drama directed by Shoojit Sircar and co-written by him and Ritesh Shah. The film also starred Banita Sandhu and Amol Parashar. The film skipped a theatrical release and premiered on Prime Video India directly in 2021.
 
However, Allu Arjun was announced as Best Actor for the film "Pushpa". The film shattered some of the biggest records at the box office, and the second instalment will be released later this year.
 
 
 
 
 
Jai Bhim snubbed
Actor Nani wrote “Jai Bhim (broken heart emoji)” after Suriya's courtroom drama was snubbed at the National Film Awards this year. Several users on Twitter supported Nani's stance.
One wrote, “It’s a shame #JaiBhim went unnoticed at the National Film awards. Definitely deserved at least one award.” Another commented, “Jai Bhim these movie didn't include in National Film award. Do you know why because no one dares to show the truth of our Casteist society.” A third user added, “Movies like Pushpa are for entertainment. Movies likes Jai Bhim are for awards. But Pushpa got a national award, while Jai Bhim couldnt even make the nominations.”
While R Madhavan's bilingual Rocketry: The Nambi Effect won the Best Feature Film award, Kadaisi Vivasayi won the Best Tamil film honour.
