Rahul Sipliganj Bags Whopping 1 Crore Award

Singer Rahul Sipliganj, known globally for lending his voice to the Oscar-winning track Naatu Naatu from RRR, has been awarded a ₹1 crore cash prize by Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy. And this wasn’t a surprise gift, it was a promise made, and a promise kept.

The announcement was timed with the vibrant Bonalu celebrations, adding a layer of cultural pride to the gesture. The CM’s office praised Rahul as a symbol of inspiration for Telangana’s youth, particularly noting his rise from the historic lanes of Hyderabad’s old city. In the words of the Chief Minister himself, Rahul’s journey is proof that talent rooted in tradition can echo across the world.

This grand reward was more than just appreciation, it was a political commitment delivered. Revanth Reddy, before the 2023 assembly elections, had pledged ₹10 lakh and later promised a ₹1 crore incentive to Rahul if Congress came to power. Now that Congress is in power, the Chief Minister kept his promise. He made a public announcement, even posting officially in Telugu, which made locals and fans very happy.

There were no loud celebrations, but the moment was filled with respect and pride. Rahul Sipliganj’s journey is not just about a hit song around the world, it’s about a boy from here who made it big, and how his state proudly supported him.
