Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rise is doing exceptionally well at the box office regardless of the weak reviews. The film has minted big bucks at the ticket counters in its 3-day run at the box office. Now, coming to the topic, a recent video of Allu Arjun funnily imitating Sukumar as a part of Pushpa’s promotional campaign is now going viral on social media.
“Usually, every actor waits for his/her director’s approval after completing the shot. Oftentimes, the director will be looking at the monitor soon after we wrap up the shot. We, as actors will be waiting for the director’s response. But with Sukumar, you can never expect anything as such. While shooting, once we wrap up a shot, Sukumar will be looking at the monitor. We will be eagerly awaiting his response. Amidst such anticipation, Sukumar walks away from the monitor with a puzzled look on his face. The actors won’t even know if he is fully satisfied with the shot or not. A little later, I will slowly walk towards him and ask if he liked the shot. This is when the fun part starts. He will be sustaining a puzzled look on his face while I speak with him. All of a sudden, he will come out of this zone and say the shot came out exceptionally well. This is a moment of elation for me, and everyone else on sets. But it also shows the kind of zone Sukumar stays in while filming. He never gives away his response easily. We have to work hard for it and earn it,” Allu Arjun said.
Allu Arjun really has put up a funny imitation of Sukumar and the way he emotes the funny side of the star filmmaker is not to be missed. Also, it gives a firsthand experience of how it is to work with Sukumar who is regarded as one of the creative and versatile filmmakers in Telugu cinema. As for the second installment of the Pushpa duology, the filming will commence early next January or February and the film will be releasing in theatres next October or November.
