'Pushpa' dominance: Allu becomes first actor from south to achieve 25 million 'glory'

Youth icon Allu Arjun’s influence is not just restricted to the Telegu heartland. The actor has always been a heartthrob in Kerala but only recently has he expanded supremacy all over the northern belt after the release of his blockbuster ‘Pushpa’.

As a testament to his popularity comes a rare achievement as Allu became the only South Indian actor to amass 25 million followers on Instagram. Social media erupted with the news while fans went jubilant over the rare feat. In other news, Pushpa 2, the second film in the ‘Pushpa’ franchise will hit theatres on August 15, 2024, on the occasion of Independence Day.

For the past three years, the actor has been solely focusing on the second part of ‘Pushpa’, meanwhile, kindly refusing any other projects coming his way. The film stars Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandana, Fahadh Faasil and others in lead roles while the music is composed by Devi Sri Prasad.
