Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa: The Rise is doing wonders at the box-office. The movie was delayed several times due to the Covid-19 pandemic but it was worth the wait. Directed by Sukumar, Pushpa Part 1 released worldwide in theatres on December 17 and it not only performed well down the South, but also in the Hindi belt. The film has crossed the Rs 200 crore mark within two weeks of its release. That’s such a huge milestone. Yesterday, there was a success meet attended by the team of Pushpa. While giving speech, the Stylish Star turned emotional and burst into tears as he thanked director Sukumar. It was also an emotional moment for the Arya director as well.

A video from the event has gone viral where Allu Arjun spoke in Telugu that is translated as, “I’m only grateful to only a few people in life. My parents for giving me life, my grandfather for bringing us into the cinema world, Chiranjeevi for supporting me and Sukumar. After Arya, 5 to 6 later, I bought a car which cost Rs 85 lakhs and when I held the stirring to drive, I thought how did I come so far and the first person who came to mind was Sukumar sir. Without you, I’m nothing, sir”.

A picture of Allu Arjun and Sukumar hugging each other has also gone viral. The ‘priceless’ pic is shared by the former on Twitter.

For the unversed, the Icon Star’s Arya was directed by Sukumar. Later, he appeared in Arya 2. Both the movies were blockbusters and were the turning point of Allu Arjun’s carreer.

Apart from Allu Arjun, Pushpa also starred Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil and Samantha.

The second part of Pushpa will release next year in December.

Stay tuned for more such updates.
