Actors who won national awards for negative roles. Eversince Allu Arjun won the national award as the best actor for his role in Pushpa The Rise, people have been up in arms and they are going ballistic criticizing the jury members as to how they gave the award to the actor who played the role of a smuggler and idolized the acts as a smuggler indulging in criminal activities.\r\nBut what many forget is there is no rule that actors who portray negative roles or criminal characters shouldn\'t be given the award. The jury only sees the performance of the actor in such a role and does not look at the wider perspective. Allu Arjun during his interaction with the media shared that he asked the makers of Pushpa, not to send the film to the best film category at the national level. This highlights his social responsibility.\r\nEven earlier, actors who played criminals and murderers won the wards. Universal Hero Kamal Haasan won the award for his performance as Don in Nayagan directed by Mani Ratnam in 1987. Though he played many impactful roles like Sagara Sangamam and Swathi Muthyam, he won the Best Actor award for his role as inspired by an underworld don Varadarajan Mudaliar.\r\nSuresh Gopi also won the Best Actor award for his performance in Kaliyattam in 1997. In the film, he played the role of a person who suspects his wife and brutally murders her. Seema Biswas won the Best Actress award for her role in Bandit Queen, where she played the role of bandit Phoolan Devi in 1994.\r\nBig B Amitabh Bachchan won the Best Actor award at the national level for his performance in Agneepath. He played the role of the criminal Even in Hollywood, Marlon Brando won the prestigious Oscars for his performance in the mafia based much acclaimed classic The Godfather.

When the award was announced I was under the impression that I was the third from Tollywood to win the award.

Allu Arjun Award brings unprecedented negativity. Allu Arjun won the best actor award at the national level for his performance in Pushpa The Rise. While many in Tollywood are celebrating the achievement as Allu Arjun became the first Tollywood actor to win the national award and did Tollywood proud, many are blasting the jury for selecting Allu Arjun for the award.\r\nObviously, fans of other stars are attacking Allu Arjun and his fans and even some stars like Nani came up with a cryptic tweet of Jai Bheem. Many said Suriya\'s Jai Bheem in which Suriya played the role of a lawyer who fights for the Dalits should have won the award rather than Allu Arjun who played the role of a smuggler in Pushpa The Rise. If In case NTR or Ram Charan won the Best actor award, other heroes\' fans would have again indulged in degrading and belittling other heroes\' performances. Had Rajamoul won the best director award, fans would have brought up similar logic saying that RRR is a fiction and realistic films in other languages should have won.\r\nThis once again showed that, unlike other language industries, Telugu people often get separated by caste, region, and various other factors. That was the reason why they are not wholeheartedly congratulating Allu Arjun and they are spreading the negativity. They are going on record that there are many other better films in Telugu and many other legends who should have won and citing the point they said Allu Arjun shouldn\'t have won.\r\nThey are bringing the logic that since legends like ANR, NTR, and others didnot win the national award, Allu Arjun or for that matter others shouldn\'t won. They brought similar logic when Rajamouli\'s RRR got shortlisted for the Oscars and Naatu Naatu Song won the Oscar. They said since yesteryear\'s classic and more melodious songs didnot win the award, Naatu Naatu shouldn\'t have won. Going by their logic, Tollywood will never grow and Telugu films never win any awards. This shows the narrow-mindedness of Telugu people and Telugu fans who always support other language films over their films under any circumstances.\r\nThis is in stark contrast to Tamil Tambis who celebrate their award-winning actors and filmmakers forgetting fanwars like when Dhanush and Vikram won national awards for their performances. At that time, they did not say that their films shouldn\'t have won and that other films in Bollywood or Mollywood should have won. This once again proved that there are no external enemies for Telugu people but only internal enemies.&nbsp;

If not Allu Arjun, who should win?
