The actor celebrates 21 years of his breakout film Arya, sharing heartfelt memories and unseen photos with fans.
Star actor Allu Arjun, known for his commanding screen presence and pan-Indian appeal, recently looked back at a pivotal moment in his career—his breakout role in the 2004 film Arya. While the Pushpa franchise propelled him to global fame, it was Arya that first made him a household name, particularly among Hindi-speaking audiences.
Marking 21 years since the film’s release on May 7, 2004, Allu Arjun took to Instagram Stories to celebrate the milestone. He shared a nostalgic collage featuring unseen photos with the Arya cast and crew.
In the caption, he wrote:
“#Arya wasn’t just a film, it was the beginning of the journey that changed my life forever.”
He added, “Grateful for the love, the memories and the magic that still lives on,” followed by a black heart emoji and the hashtag #21YearsForArya.
Meanwhile, the official X (formerly Twitter) account of Team Allu Arjun also marked the occasion. They shared a tribute poster with the caption:
“#Arya ~ A film that redefined love, friendship, and selflessness. A timeless journey that still echoes in our hearts. #21YearsForArya Icon star @alluarjun @aryasukku #AnuMehta @ThisIsDSP @RathnaveluDop #DilRaju @SVC_official @adityamusic.”
Directed by Sukumar and produced by Dil Raju, Arya not only launched Allu Arjun into superstardom but also earned a lasting legacy in Telugu cinema for its unique portrayal of love and sacrifice.
