Indian cinema produced one of its biggest blockbusters in recent times in the form of Pushpa 2. This is a hallmark film in terms of commercial cinema as it managed to extract extreme revenues at the pan Indian box office with very little VFX usage.
This brings us back to the main man associated with the film, Allu Arjun, who has just started to scale great heights in his career after laying and elongated foundation.
Write from the early stages of his career, Allu Arjun was very particular about the way he built his image. Funky love stories and cutting-edge fashion sense were crucial factors in the remarkable rise of Allu Arjun.
And then came the big plunge after Ala Vaikunthapurramloo as Allu Arjun decided to go big, and this was when Pushpa materialised with Director Sukumar. The first part was a decent grosser at the box office but the mannerisms and songs were sensational after OTT debut.
And the second part stands to be one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of Indian cinema that speaks for itself. At the heart of it, the hard work of Arjun cannot be ignored even one bit.
Allu Arjun went to the extreme with regard to make up and physical transformation for this film, and the results were overwhelmingly evident. The Pushpa mannerisms and body language are still trending across the country.
Arjun has emerged as the face of certain kind of cinema that is being expected by the mass audience, and his market would have certainly gone upward with the tremendous success. The deep penetration that he got in Hindi with Pushpa could be of very good use in the future.
Bunny and strategic with his career planning, and this is what got him this far. But the most significant challenge for him will come in the form of the upcoming films after Pushpa as cementing, this foundation is as important as growing beyond it.
The upcoming films with Atlee and Lokesh Kanagaraj are expected to be huge in scale and execution. Then there is the possible collaboration with Trivikram for mythological action epic and this could be another game changer for Bunny if executed well.
