The Gaddar Telangana Film Awards will be held at HICC, Izzatnagar, Hyderabad on 14 June. Several government and film dignitaries are expected to be present at the event. For the unversed, the united Andhra Pradesh government would hold the Nandi Awards annually to recognise excellence in cinema. 

The Nandi Awards were first launched in 1964, and the last award ceremony was held in 2016 after the 2014 split of Andhra and Telangana. In 2014 and 2015, filmmakers like Gunasekhar and Bandla Ganesh made allegations of casteism, political favouritism, and negligence against the Nandi Awards jury. In January 2024, Telangana CM Revanth Reddy announced the Gaddar Film Awards in place of the Nandi Awards.
