Allu Arjun, who debuted with Gangotri in 2003 and completed two decades as an actor in the film industry, hogged the headlines for being the first ever Telugu actor (male) to have won the National Award the previous week. He had won the award for his portrayal of Pushpa Raj, the pivotal character in his action thriller Pushpa The Rise, directed by Sukumar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers.
The star, who has over 22 million followers on Instagram, opened up to his fans and offered a peek into his daily routine and his Pushpa 2: The Rule sets in an official conversation with team Instagram. The social media team flew down to Hyderabad to spend time with the star and captured glimpses of his personal and professional life, followed by a brief chat with Pushpa’s director Sukumar too.
The actor shared that he likes his chill mornings to be calm and his need for sunshine to wake him up. From the Buddha idol to his garden and the swimming pool, he only seeks coffee, some peace and me-time to begin his day. On his way to work at around 1 p.m., he is seen interacting with his kids Ayaan and Arha - whom he calls the centre of his universe.
The scene shifts to Ramoji Film City, where Pushpa 2 is being filmed and he gets a warm reception from fans. “Fans play a huge part in my motivation because it’s their love that makes me pushes my boundaries and I want to make them really proud,” Allu Arjun shares. He takes viewers through the costumes for Pushpa 2, his sickles and introduces them to director Sukumar.
“We’ve been working together for 20 years,” the star adds and the filmmaker cheekily responds - first love. He calls Pushpa his biggest films, discusses his family’s tryst with cinema. “The ambience and the understanding we share really helped the shooting. He was my first hero,” Sukumar states. Allu Arjun also told that he was a big fan of Pushpa’s never-give-up attitude. “I hope you all watch Pushpa 2 and love it,” he signs off.
