The Telangana Gaddar Film Awards 2025 will be held on June 14, 2025, at the prestigious HITEX Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad. This grand event marks the revival of state-sponsored film recognition after a gap of over 14 years. The awards are named in honor of Gaddar, the revolutionary poet who inspired generations with his art and activism.

Honoring a Decade of Cinematic Excellence (2014–2024)
The Gaddar Film Awards will recognize outstanding films released between June 2, 2014, and December 31, 2024. This period captures a transformative decade in Telugu and Urdu cinema, especially after the formation of the Telangana state.
A Powerful and Credible Jury
The award selections are in safe hands, led by a 15-member jury chaired by iconic actress Jayasudha. Supporting her are key figures in the industry, including producer Dil Raju, actor Murali Mohan, and other notable film professionals, who ensure fairness, transparency, and credibility.
A Star-Studded Event with Cultural Significance
The ceremony will be attended by top stars, directors, musicians, and technicians. Expect appearances from big names like Allu Arjun, Mahesh Babu, Nivetha Thomas, and many more.
The event not only honors cinematic excellence but also pays tribute to Gaddar’s legacy, aligning the celebration with his birth anniversary. This emotional and cultural connection elevates the event beyond just awards.
Telangana’s Big Push for a Film-Friendly Ecosystem
Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka has announced key reforms for filmmakers:
- A single-window clearance system for film shooting permissions
- Appointment of liaison officers to support film units
- Promotion of Telangana as a world-class filming destination
These steps are designed to attract more filmmakers to Telangana, making the state a hub for both national and international cinema.
Why June 14 Is a Date to Remember
June 14, 2025, isn’t just about awards — it’s about renewed recognition, cultural pride, and industry growth. The Gaddar Telangana Film Awards are expected to become an annual benchmark, much like the Nandi Awards once were.
