Speaking about his life after Pushpa 2's success, Allu Arjun said he used to be a regional actor, but now everyone knows him.
Actor Allu Arjun, who participated in the success of the 2025 “Pushpa” film series at the Jio World Center in Mumbai on Thursday, has attracted attention worldwide. During the event, he talked about the success of “Pushpa 2” and emphasized the importance of fitness in the life of an actor.
The actor thanks the Indian government for organizing the 2025 Waves Summit for the entertainment industry. Speaking about his life after Pushpa 2's success, Allu Arjun said he used to be a regional actor, but now everyone knows him.
“At least everyone knows my face now. I'm a regional actor, I used to work in Telugu movies and are very popular elsewhere in the South, but now, thanks to 'Pushpa', now with the love of Indian audiences, I'm more familiar with each other, everyone knows me, and everyone knows me….”
The actor spent a year with his film Pushpa 2: Rules to Make History at the Box Office. The film was released last December and continues to break several records. The action drama Allu Arjun directed by Sukumar features the role of Pushpa Raj, as well as Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil. The actor also won the National Best Actor Award for his performance at Pushpa: Rise.
At the conference, the actor further shared how he approached fitness, saying, “It's about the mindset. That era about 20 years ago, … I knew it only took one person to break it. Someone motivated me and said, 'I think Southern actors could come up with six packs.” One actress I worked with said, and then I did it as a challenge for my people, and I could say that. ”
“Obviously, fitness is a very keen aspect of every actor because especially as an Indian actor you have to dance, you have to fight, you don't know when it's possible to start the schedule. See yourself on the big screen, you have millions of people who appreciate it,” he added. He said that talking about maintaining his versatility as an actor,
“Every movie is unique and every movie shouldn't be repeated, but without knowing it, we have patterns, but consciously trying to remove those patterns as consciously as possible and trying to come up with something new, which is original. In such a competitive world, you have to show your best… So you have to come up with some inspiration to give people something new, but something that serves people, the best thing is a kind of multi-function actor of mine.
He also opened up an accident and said: “After shooting the tenth movie, I had an accident…I had a cuff mess of shoulders. I'm famous for my physical health and acrobatic skills, when I broke my shoulders, my shoulders were very mild, I did have a small tear, I just had a small surgery, and then I came back in three weeks, I was in four weeks, so I've started, so I was in the gym, and it's the same hospital. Australia, the doctor said you have to take six months off.”
“PushPA” actor continued, “It was like a big blow to me because we had to start filming in two or three months, I didn't have that time, it was the scariest moment because I was so healthy with my body and then this thing made my body fitness and agility more and more important, so my performance started, so I started to focus on my energy, and it was my energy, so I started to focus on my energy, and it was my energy… movies afterwards…
