The Telangana government has instituted the Gaddar Awards for the film industry and plans to announce awards for the past ten years.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy aims to leave his mark on the Telugu film industry, especially since the previous KCR-led government left the responsibility of announcing the Nandi Awards to the Andhra Pradesh government.
Although KCR once considered launching the Simha Awards as a rival to the Nandi Awards, he eventually dropped the idea and chose not to interfere in the functioning of the Telugu film industry.
Revanth Reddy, now presenting film awards in the name of the balladeer Gaddar, is poised to make a lasting impact.
Meanwhile, the Andhra Pradesh government is preparing to revive the Nandi Awards, which will be announced soon.
In addition to the awards, the AP government also plans to allot land to cinema celebrities and industry workers.
The Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce has also urged the government to allocate land for the development of film studios in Vizag, Amaravati, and other areas.
