The curtain-raiser event, presented by Vaibhav Jewellers and Keinfra, was held in Hyderabad and drew a star-studded crowd, including GAMA CEO Saurabh Keshri, Vaibhav Jewellers MD Raghav, and renowned film personalities like Directors A. Kodandarami Reddy and B. Gopal. Actresses Faria Abdullah, Manasa Varanasi, Daksha Nagarkar, and actor Viva Harsha were also in attendance.

GAMA CEO Saurabh Keshri emphasized that the event is a tribute to his father, Mr. Trimurtulu, and his deep respect for artists. "We are conducting GAMA Awards in honor of my father, Mr. Trimurtulu’s love and respect for artists," he said. Keshri also revealed plans to expand the awards internationally, aiming to "amaze Telugu audiences not only in Dubai but across the globe." The winners were chosen by an expert jury to ensure fairness and quality.
