Rahul’s journey began in Hyderabad’s old city and reached global acclaim with “Natu Natu” from the film RRR, which won an Oscar. CM Revanth Reddy praised him as a role model for Telangana’s youth, saying his success reflected dedication and hard work.
In 2023, Revanth Reddy, then TPCC president, had promised a ₹1 crore reward for Rahul if the Congress came to power. The Congress government fulfilled that pledge during the Bonalu festival in the old city on July 20.
Renowned poet Andesri also met the Chief Minister at his residence the same day.
