Allu Arjun Opens Up On Ram Mandir Inauguration, Pushpa Star Calls It 'Beginning of a New Era'

Allu Arjun took to his Instagram stories on Tuesday evening and penned down a heartwarming note following the inauguration of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. The Pushpa star called it the beginning of a new era and argued that Ayodhya will become the biggest pilgrimage in the world in the coming years.

“What a day for India. Feeling very emotional about the inauguration of Ram Mandir. I felt like it was the beginning of a new era in India with his arrival. I truly wish to see Ayodhya as the biggest pilgrimage in the world in the years to come. Jai Shri Ram. Jai Hind,” he wrote.

Ram Mandir in Ayodhya was inaugurated on January 22, 2023. Several celebrities including Ram Charan, Chiranjeevi, Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Katrina Kaif, Kangana Ranaut and Abhishek Bachchan also attended the grand ceremony.

Meanwhile, Allu Arjun is currently working on his much-awaited movie, Pushpa 2: The Rule. It is the sequel to the 2021 movie Pushpa: The Rise. Written and directed by Sukumar, the shooting for Pushpa 2 is currently underway. In November 2023, the shoot was halted for a couple of weeks due to Allu Arjun’s health issues but it was resumed later. Last year, Allu Arjun shared his first-look poster of Pushpa 2 in which he was seen dressed in a saree with his face painted in shades of blue and red. Later, the look poster of Fahadh Faasil from the movie was also released. Fans are now waiting for Rashmika Mandanna’s look poster.

Recently, Rashmika Mandanna also talked about Pushpa 2 when she shared that the film will be “bigger” than its first part. “I can promise you that Pushpa 2 is going to be so much bigger. We gave some madness in the first film, in part 2, we know we have a responsibility because people have so much expectation from the film. We are constantly and consciously trying to deliver that. I just shot for a song for Pushpa 2 and I was just like, ‘How are you guys thinking about this?’ Everyone is so driven to make a good film. All of us have gone all out and are enjoying the process. It’s a story that has no end, you can lead it any which way. It is fun,” she told Pinkvilla.
