Allu Arjun, the star of the blockbuster Pushpa 2: The Rule, has seen his career skyrocket following the film's massive success. Not only has Pushpa 2 broken several box office records, but it also stands as the second-highest-grossing Indian film of all time.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, the actor opened up about how the film has shaped his career and how he navigates the tremendous success it has brought him.
Describing Pushpa 2 as ‘the biggest opportunity of my lifetime,’ Allu Arjun acknowledged that the film was pivotal in establishing him as a major actor in the Indian film industry.
He shared, “This film helped me mark myself as an actor at the Indian box office.” The film, directed by Sukumar and featuring Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil, has had a monumental impact on Allu Arjun's career, propelling him to even greater stardom.
Despite the massive success of Pushpa 2, the actor remains grounded and focused on his craft. Reflecting on how he has handled success, Allu Arjun emphasized the importance of humility. “With success comes a lot of humility. I’ve seen many people become humbler with success. It goes both ways. It depends upon the person,” he said.
Further in the interview, Allu Arjun also spoke about his confidence and what it takes to achieve the "alpha-ness" that he’s known for on screen. "Alpha-ness is in the mind. You can’t take it away. That’s an inborn trait," he explained.
When he’s not on set, Allu Arjun enjoys the simpler things in life. He admitted that he loves to "do nothing" during his downtime.
“When I’m not working, I like to not do anything. Sometimes not even read a book. Not do anything. I love not doing anything,” he shared, revealing his desire for peace and relaxation away from the pressures of his demanding career.
He further added, “I’m a 100% Aam Aadmi,” emphasizing that despite his fame, he leads a life just like anyone else when he's not in the spotlight.
Looking to the future, Allu Arjun has some exciting projects lined up. Fans are eagerly awaiting his collaboration with director Trivikram Srinivas, with rumors circulating that the actor may take on a mythological role as Lord Karthikeya in an upcoming film.
Additionally, Allu Arjun is reportedly working with Jawan director Atlee on another highly anticipated project. There's also buzz about Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor being cast opposite him, adding to the excitement surrounding his future ventures.
With Pushpa 2 continuing to dominate the box office, Allu Arjun’s humility and grounded nature make him a standout star both on and off the screen. His journey serves as a reminder of the power of confidence, humility, and the importance of staying true to oneself despite achieving remarkable success.
