Allu Arjun, turned Icon Star with Pushpa and he attained national and international stardom with the film. The film broke all records at the box office.
Now, speaking at WAVES summit, Allu Arun said people started recognising him after Pushpa. He said “We have such a big film industry and we’ve been there for so many decades. But we never had a serious impact on the global box office. I feel it’s just about time… India is getting there. We, as a country, are growing and in the coming years, Indian film industry will make a global mark."
He added . “At least everybody knows my face now… I used to work in Telugu films with quite a popularity in other states in the South but now, because of ‘Pushpa’ and the grace of the entire Indian audience, I’ve become more familiar. So it’s a long journey, and I’m glad to have started this journey,"
