Hey, movie buffs! Today, we’re diving into the world of Telugu cinema to celebrate a monumental milestone: the 20th anniversary of the blockbuster film Arya. Join us as we explore how this iconic movie marked a turning point in the career of one of Tollywood’s biggest stars, Allu Arjun.

“Allu Arjun, at the 20-year celebration of Arya, called Sukumar the person who had the biggest impact on my life,” reveals the actor. With Arya, Sukumar didn’t just deliver a hit film; he transformed Allu Arjun’s trajectory in the film industry forever.


Recalling his journey, Allu Arjun shares, “My association with him has changed my life forever. He brought this train (referring to himself) from a remote forest and put it on a track.” The actor acknowledges that before Arya, he felt like he was at “-100,” but the film elevated him to “100,” marking a remarkable turnaround in his career.


For Allu Arjun, Arya wasn’t just another movie — it was a monumental leap that reshaped his career landscape. “If I had to use a metaphor to explain what Arya is to me, I would call it the biggest jump in my life ever,” he says. From a struggling artist trying to find his footing in the industry, Arya propelled Allu Arjun to superstardom, making him one of the most sought-after actors in Telugu cinema.


Following the success of Arya, Allu Arjun and Sukumar collaborated once again for Arya 2, further solidifying their status as a dynamic duo in Tollywood. Now, as anticipation builds for their upcoming release, Pushpa: The Rule, fans eagerly await another cinematic masterpiece from this formidable team.


Pushpa: The Rule has generated immense buzz across the country, and Allu Arjun’s partnership with Sukumar has once again piqued the curiosity of audiences. Scheduled for release on August 15, 2024, the film promises to be an exhilarating ride that showcases the unparalleled talent of these two titans of cinema.


As we celebrate 20 years of Arya and look forward to the future with Pushpa: The Rule, one thing remains clear: the bond between Allu Arjun and Sukumar continues to shape the landscape of Telugu cinema, leaving an indelible mark on audiences worldwide. Here’s to many more years of cinematic brilliance from this dynamic duo!
