On Thursday, another video of Allu Arjun went viral on social media in which the Pushpa star was seen getting emotional as he won the National Award. In the clip, he hugged the film’s director Sukumar as soon as his name was announced. Allu Arjun and Sukumar were visibly emotional as they held on to each other a moment longer to truly take in the moment.

Pushpa’s Success

Apart from winning the Best Actor category, Pushpa also brought home the award for Best Music Director (Songs). Pushpa released in December 2021 and was a massive hit not only in the Telugu speaking regions but also across other parts of India. Several iconic moments from the movie were recreated not just by fans but also by actors and cricketers.

Meanwhile, Allu Arjun is currently working on Pushpa 2 aka Pushpa: The Rule. It was earlier said that the film is likely to hit theatres in December 2023. However, a report by Pinkvilla claimed earlier this year that Pushpa 2 is unlikely to release anytime before May 2024. The entertainment portal claimed that the film’s director Sukumar wants to leave no stone unturned to bring the ‘best cinematic experience’ for the audience. Therefore, he is likely to postpone the movie a little. However, there is no official announcement yet regarding the film’s release date.
