Icon Star Allu Arjun is on a career-high after the commercial success of Pushpa. While the film received mixed reviews on release, it has been doing fairly well especially in other languages. Pushpa has now become the 5th movie from Tollywood to cross the Rs 150 crore mark. This includes collections of all collections. This is his second film to do so after Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo to hit the mark. The other films in this list are Baahubali 1, Baahubali 2, and Saaho.
With 5 films of just Allu Arjun and Prabhas featuring in this list, now comparisons have started between the two. Prabhas became a household name across India in 2015 with Baahubali: The Begining. He further consolidated his position as a pan India star with Baahubali: The Conclusion and Saaho.
Now Allu Arjun’s team is strategizing and playing PR games to target Prabhas. The Icon Star’s team is known to plant articles in Bollywood websites, hyping Allu Arjun to great extent. There are articles being planted in the Bollywood sites claiming Allu Arjun as a ‘Self Made Star’. This is being directed as a jibe towards Prabhas where it is being inferred that the ‘Radhe Shyam’ actor has become a star on the backing of SS Rajamouli.
The team has to remember one thing here. SS Rajamouli himself had a relatively small market in Bollywood pre-Baahubali. Both Prabhas and Rajamouli should get equal credit for the humongous success. Even Prabhas’ Saaho which was directed by a small director and had disaster reviews did massive opening in north markets which is almost 10 times that of Pushpa.
Pushpa, just like KGF did a good job in the north market because it reached masses well and due to its mass content.
The team should at least stop planting these articles and just enjoy the success of Pushpa. The Icon Star is unnecessarily facing negativity because of this overzealous team.
