Allu Arjun has never been more popular. 'Pushpa: The Rise' has made him a national superstar as much as the film itself has come to occupy an iconic status. This is what Bunny's fans are saying.
"We are glad that the Sukumar directorial has made our favourite actor a household name across the length and breadth of the country. Allu Arjun is also familiar among Bangladeshis who watch Indian movies on YouTube," a fan says.
Not only #ThaggedheLe but also its Hindi version #MainJhukegaNahi has become a rage. "We have seen imitations from commoners in the past. But in the case of Bunny, even celebs and national icons are doing it. Virat Kohli, David Warner, Ravindra Jadeja, Suresh Raina, Ravichandran Ashwin, Suryakumar Yadav, and Ishaan Kishan have imitated the 'Pushpa' hook on different platforms," another fan says. From signature steps from 'Pushpa' to the hand hook, everything is popular.
Talking about the mania that the film enjoys, a Bunny fan says, "Players on the football field during ISL are taking to the Srivalli hook step to celebrate the film."
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh referred to a punchline from 'Pushpa' during the election campaign in Uttarakhand recently. A politician from TRS, too, did the same recently.
Both for his style and dances, Bunny has been admired. The Srivalli hook step has inspired close to 3 million reels. From weddings to other ceremonies, the 'Pushpa' phenomenon is everywhere.
