Delivered a Hit After 18 Flops: Allu Arjun
Allu Arjun reveals how taking a sabbatical helped him introspect and reinvigorate himself
Allu Arjun eraned national fame with the Pushpa franchise, but at a recent event, he revealed that a hit film came to him after a long wait. Speaking at the recently-held WAVES in Mumbai, he said: “Eighteen of my films failed at the box office. They didn’t do so well. I wanted to take a break for six months. Accidentally, it happened to be 12-13 months. But I wanted a seven to eight-month break and I wanted to introspect. I wanted to take some time off. I took a year off, almost a year, by accident though. There was a lot of introspection being done,” he said.
Adding that he enjoyed the sabbatical, he said, “Genuinely, that was one of the best breaks I had. Because after that, I had Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, which was my biggest hit and an industry record. It’s one of the biggest Telugu hits ever. After that, there was Pushpa and Pushpa 2. One year really helped me introspect a lot.”
