Out Now - Where Is Pushpa - Page 4

Isn't he a heavy duty nepokid or am I thinking of someone else ?

Yes he’s but one of those rare ones who has it all, the man just scores in every department an actor should be good at, and is the most popular south actor in north belt despite never doing a Hindi film.

Pushpa team must be happy 😃

Was he really well known in north belt before Pushpa ?

And I mean Yash and RRR guys haven't done any Hindi movies. But they also seem to be equally popular at this point due to their latest releases (similar to Pushpa). North mein people were going nuts over Prabhas as well when BB2 was about to release.

As far as I know, Allu Arjun has a significant popularity in north belt and huge one in kerala too despite only doing telugu films. Bahubali is a SSR movie so that’s a different ball game altogether, but Allu Arjun’s songs were always a rage amongst the country and Pushpa just reinforced the popularity some more.

If you see his albums be it Ala Vaikuntapurumalo or even Pushpa has been the most viewed ones across India only because of the popularity outside his own belt.

Pushpa wasn’t supposed to be a pan India release but later they took the decision to release it everywhere seeing Arjun’s popularity.

And amongst the RRR guys, Ram Charan did a Hindi movie with PC which didn’t succeed and NTR will soon do War. And yeah now they’re quite popular, however the point is their songs or movies won’t be sold solely upon their swagger or style the way Pushpa was or is sold on Allu Arjun’s name.

I will have to check on his popularity pre Pushpa. I don't know anyone in my circle who knew him before this movie

I stay in UP and most of the hindi channel as well as free dish channels have all his hit movies dubbed in Hindi which they repeat every month. Usually channel shows others movie too but his and Vijay's movie are always up for repetition. I watched his lucky the racer dubbed and started watching his other movies.if not by name people does know him by his movies.

Junior NTR is famous too but not as much as Allu arjun.

Even if some people knew, it would be similar to how people know Ram Charan, Nithiin, Ram or Bellamkonda Srinivas. The last of these has a Guinness World record 😉

BTW, Zanjeer in 2013, a disaster from the announcement itself (mainly due to the director Apoorva Lakhia), opened better than Pushpa in 2021. Its weekend was also better than KGF Part 1. It didn't happen out of nowhere.

The point here I am trying to make is something that has been in the mind of the Telugu film industry for a decade and more. Bollywood young stars lack "Mass Appeal" like their seniors. They (TFI/Mega family) wanted to cash on the vacuum and gave it a try. Charan/Zanjeer, who was on a high back then, post the extraordinary success of Magadheera, gave it a first shot. They knew the director was terrible, but hoped to overcome it with mass movie and remake (of a film that started the Angry Young Man phenomenon in Bollywood) factor. It didn't work out as expected. Even years before, a few tried to get Mahesh Babu to do a direct Hindi movie (post-Pokiri), but he didn't want to do anything outside Telugu, clear lack of vision or disinterest. He has stuck to it so far and finally doing a "Pan-India" movie because it's SS Rajamouli.

Not many might be aware, but Mohenjodaro was initially planned with Charan. After burning fingers with Zanjeer and looking at Gowarikar's track record then, it was dropped. The opening/closing of Zanjeer, despite being a disaster, made Rana Daggubati hopeful of Baahubali's prospects, and he approached KJO for the release. SSR had already had Eega released as Makhi, and even before, he was disappointed that Magadheera didn't get a proper non-Telugu release. Everything came together. The rest is history.

What happened with Pushpa was in the making for a long time. KGF, a film featuring a star that no one knew outside Karnataka, clashing with SRK's Zero, wouldn't do what it did if not for the same vacuum. Or a Kantara. It is not going to stop with Pushpa 2. And none of it has anything to do with Allu Arjun or his so-called popularity without doing any movie. That's just PR. The fact is there is a vacuum, and it has been utilised. History has been created via the Baahubali movies, and things will remain the same way for years to come. Like Hollywood movies, Bollywood will have these "Pan-India" South movies from time to time doing "Unexpected" business.

More than Bollywood stars, I would say it's the lack of the "Mass directors" in Bollywood that resulted in the current situation. And I say this despite Pathaan or whatever they might have in plan next.

Looks interesting.

Will watch it..Best Wishes to Allu Arjun and whole team!!

Ahh yes, I’m sure you’ll understand what I’m trying to say.

I’m not an Indian and never visited India, however, I’ve known south movies through Allu Arjun and his movies, the dubbed versions are there in YouTube with too many views and re-uploads and yeah his songs are pretty famous courtesy his dancing, since you’re following BW more, you must be knowing how his songs has been remade by big stars too. And everything I’m taking about is Pre-Pushpa days only.

Most liked teaser in Indian cinema ☺️🥳

Not Rajamouli, not YRF, pure star power 😳
