Allu Arjun Named ‘Most Versatile Actor of the Year’ at Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2025

In another remarkable achievement, Allu Arjun has added a prestigious new honour to his growing list of accolades.
The celebrated actor was awarded the Most Versatile Actor of the Year at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2025.
The announcement was made via the festival’s official social media handle, which read, “Congratulations to Allu Arjun for this prestigious recognition, celebrating his exceptional range and cinematic impact!”
Recognised as India’s most prestigious film festival and award ceremony, the event celebrates excellence in cinema, art, culture, tourism, and heritage. The grand celebration took place on October 30, 2025, at the NSCI Dome, SVP Stadium, Mumbai.
Expressing his gratitude, Allu Arjun took to Instagram to share a heartfelt note, “Thanks to the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Awards for this incredible honour. Truly humbled. My warm congratulations to all the winners across categories this year. A sincere thank you to my audience for your continued love and support... I humbly dedicate this award to my fans.”
This milestone follows a series of major wins for the star, who earlier bagged the Best Actor Award at the South Indian International Movie Awards (SIIMA) 2025 and the Gaddar Telangana Film Awards for his performance in Sukumar’s ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’.
Released in 2024, Pushpa 2: The Rule — a sequel to the 2021 blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise — became a massive box office success, featuring Allu Arjun alongside Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, Jagapathi Babu, Sunil, and Rao Ramesh.
Looking ahead, the National Award-winning actor is gearing up for his next big project — an untitled sci-fi action film directed by Atlee, tentatively titled Project AA22 x A6, co-starring Deepika Padukone. Further details about the highly anticipated film are expected soon.
With this Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Award, Allu Arjun continues to solidify his place as one of India’s most dynamic and versatile performers
