Nitish Kumar Reddy Celebrates Maiden Test Century with Iconic "Taggede Le" Gesture from Pushpa

Pushpa 2 has become a cultural phenomenon, transcending cinema with its iconic mannerisms, particularly the "Taggede Le" gesture. The film's massive popularity has sparked debates and discussions, with some criticizing its moral undertones.


Amidst this backdrop, 21-year-old cricketer Kaki Nitish Kumar Reddy brought Pushpa's influence to the international stage. During the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, Reddy scored an unbeaten 105, his maiden Test century, guiding India to a competitive 358 for nine.


In a momentous tribute to Pushpa, Reddy celebrated his century by performing the "Taggede Le" gesture with his bat. This act resonated deeply with fans of both cricket and cinema, reflecting the film's profound impact and its lead character, portrayed by Allu Arjun.


Reddy's use of a cinematic mannerism highlights the unique cultural significance of Pushpa. It's a rare example of a Telugu movie influencing a pivotal moment on an international platform.


While Pushpa's character has faced criticism, Reddy's gesture speaks to the film's widespread appeal and its ability to inspire across generations. For Nitish Kumar Reddy, channeling Pushpa's defiant energy in a moment of triumph was a natural choice.


This moment showcases Pushpa 2's indelible mark on popular culture, captivating audiences and inspiring new generations.
