New Delhi: No one is against Allu Arjun or his fans, nor is anyone denying that he did a good job in Pushpa. But a National Award for the same? Now that is debatable. At least Vicky Kaushal fans think so. His performance in Sardar Udham. That is what they call National Award-worthy.
Sardar Udham, based on the life of freedom fighter Udham Singh, won five National Awards including Best Hindi Film. Vicky, a previous winner of the National Award for Best Actor, received praise for his performance when the film was released. However, the National Award jury, headed by Ketan Mehta, thought Allu Arjun was more deserving.
There is outrage on X with both Vicky Kaushal and Allu Arjun trending. Vicky’s performance was variously described as a “masterclass” and “timeless.”
