Allu Arjun was fantastic in `Pushpa: The Rise` and the National Film Awards jury made a great decision by bestowing the best actor award to the South star, says Vicky Kaushal. At the 69th edition of the awards, which were announced last month, Kaushal-starrer "Sardam Udham" earned five trophies in Best Hindi Film, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Designer, Best Production Design and Best Audiography: Re-Recording (Final Mixing) categories.

Kaushal may have missed out on the best actor honour this time but he previously won the National Film Award for the 2019 film `Uri: The Surgical Strike`. Asked if he wished he had bagged the honour for `Sardar Udham`, Kaushal said being able to work with Sircar on the 2021 Hindi movie was an achievement in itself.
