Allu Arjun’s journey is well-known, starting from a critical beginning and facing criticism. Today, he stands as a shining example of true success.
He made history by becoming the first Telugu hero to win the Best Actor award at the national level, a recognition that eluded even renowned figures like NTR, ANR, and SV Ranga Rao.
Some are criticizing his win by saying that he won the National Award for the role of a smuggler, an anti-social element. Allu Arjun says it’s the performance that matters and not the genre. Even Amitabh Bachchan won the National Award for the role of gangster in Agneepath.
Allu Arjun also revealed that they knew that Pushpa wouldn’t win the Best Film award. So he told the makers and the team of Pushpa to not even file a nomination in the Best Film category for Pushpa.
While recalling his remarkable journey, Allu Arjun said that the initial attempts with bigger banners didn’t yield results, causing disappointment for both Chiranjeevi and Allu Aravind.
The opportunity came when a big director was seeking new talent for his 100th film, which turned out to be Bunny’s chance in “Gangotri.” Although the movie succeeded, Bunny felt he flopped as an actor. But he learned from his mistakes and worked on his skills, and today, he is one of the best actors in the country with a pan-India fan following.
