Was he concerned that his stardom would be jeopardized because the persona has negative aspects as well?
Pushpa: The Rise, starring Allu Arjun, stunned viewers with its captivating and thrilling cinematic debut in 2021. Starring with Sukumar in the director’s chair are Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil. Nobody will ever forget the hysteria surrounding Pushpa’s debut. The music, speech, and demeanor of Arjun’s role in the Telugu action drama captivated his followers.
Pushpa stars Allu Arjun as a sandalwood smuggler. Pushpa Raj, despite being the protagonist, has some shades of gray. In a 2021 interview, the Arya star was questioned if he was concerned that playing a sandalwood smuggler might harm his public image. The role also contains bad aspects, so was he concerned that it might jeopardize his stardom?
Allu Arjun on playing Pushpa Raj and trying something different
Pushpa’s Sandalwood Smuggler was a role Allu Arjun took on without hesitation. The performer retorted, “I don’t think that’s much of an issue because sandalwood smuggling has decreased significantly. In this movie, events take place in a distinct era. Additionally, a disclaimer stating that the characters are fictional will appear when viewers view the movie. People are intelligent enough to realize that this is a movie, so I doubt they would give that (the role) any thought.
How resilient is Pushpa Raj? In the same Onmanorama interview, Allu Arjun was questioned. It’s not the stylish and charming characters he’s played before. Arjun is another unique persona in Tollywood. Was he afraid of being perceived as a harsh Pushpa Raj? Arjun shot back, “I always feel that we have to keep experimenting.” On film, I come across as a refined and charming individual. I have taken that action. Since there haven’t been many Telugu films that focus on this subject, I wanted to be among the first performers to investigate it.
The actor Allu Arjun portraying Pushpa Raj
In commercial films, a particular standard of glitz is consistently adhered to. The actor continued, “I wanted to let go of that and see how it would work.”
As Pushpa: The Rise gained enormous popularity, all eyes are now on Pushpa 2: The Rule, the sequel. Speculators are eager to watch what Allu Arjun’s character will do next. The audience is also interested in seeing how Rashmika Mandanna’s Srivalli and Fahadh Faasil’s SP Bhanwar Singh fare in the narrative. August 15, 2024, is when Pushpa 2 is expected to open in theaters.
