‘The same Allu Arjun, 20 years later, wore a saree and people clapped in theatres’: Producer Bunny Vasu gets emotional about ‘Pushpa’ star

Allu Arjun earns a huge fan following and the path to his success was not an easy one. He came into the film world with the Mega–Allu background. Many thought that was enough to become a hero. But what followed was not easy.In a recent interview, producer Bunny Vasu said that getting an entry may look simple, but creating your own name is very hard. Allu Arjun turned every bad comment into strength. Step by step, he moved forward. Today, people call him a pan-India star. This did not happen overnight. It took pain, patience, and belief. As reported by Telugu Samayam, Bunny Vasu remembered the release day of Gangotri very clearly. He said, “People may not believe this if I say it. There is one incident in my life where I was inspired by Allu Arjun.”They watched Gangotri together at RTC Cross Roads. Allu Arjun wore a cap. Not many knew him then. During the interval, people spoke badly about the hero’s looks. Even though they said the film was good, the comments hurt him deeply.“He replied, ‘The movie is good… but I am not good.’” Later that day, Allu Arjun said, “One day, I will become the biggest star in India.”From his second film itself, Allu Arjun proved himself. With 'Arya', people saw a new actor and dancer. Youth loved his body language and style. With Bunny, he became the Stylish Star. Films like 'Arya 2', 'Bunny', 'Happy' and many others, helped him grow bigger.'Pushpa: The Rise' changed everything. As Pushpa Raj, Allu Arjun won hearts across India. He became the first Telugu hero to win the National Award for Best Actor. Pushpa 2: The Rule broke records and made him the biggest pan-India star.Bunny Vasu shared a moment that touched him deeply.“In Gangotri, when he wore a lungi, he received negative comments. The same Allu Arjun, 20 years later, wore a saree and people clapped in theatres.” He added, “When that scene came in 'Pushpa 2', I stood up in the theatre and clapped. Only I know why I clapped.”Bunny Vasu also said Allu Arjun still goes to theatres alone with a cap and mask to hear real audience talk. When a film fails, he feels it deeply, makes notes, and works harder.
