Megastar Prince Varun Tej is known for attempting a variety of scripts and undergoing required makeovers for every movie. Presently, he is doing a horror comedy with Merlapaka Gandhi, and the movie being made on UV Creations has a Korean connection.

Varun Tej’s brilliance in playing contrasting roles in distinctive subjects paid off with two of his movies receiving Gaddar awards announced by the Telangana government. His movies Kanche and Fidaa received awards for 2015 and 2017, respectively.

His film Kanche, a war-time romantic drama set against the backdrop of World War II, won the Best Feature Film award. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, Kanche was lauded for its bold storytelling, historical depth, and Varun Tej’s compelling performance.

The wholesome entertainer Fidaa, directed by Sekhar Kammula, received the Second Best Feature Film award.

Both these movies which received appreciation also turned out to be blockbusters.

These awards define Varun Tej’s ability to seamlessly transition between dramatically different genres, from intense period dramas to feel-good romantic tales.
