Today marks the 19th anniversary of ‘Arya’ (May 7, 2004) a movie renowned for its innovative take on one-sided love directed by Sukumar, featuring Allu Arjun as the lead actor. This cult classic film drastically changed both the director’s and actor’s career trajectory, leading to great success and acclaim from viewers. Here comes an interesting snippet.
There is a lot of debate about whether the success of Allu Arjun’s career was due to working with Sukumar on his movies ‘Arya’ and ‘Pushpa’ or if it was due to Allu Arjun and Sukumar getting the chance to carve a big-budget movie in 2004. Whatever the case may be, both have benefited from this association. The debate on whether directors or actors give life to a character or to each other is ongoing and never-ending. However, the ‘Arya’ franchise left audiences spellbound. Although its sequel ‘Arya 2′ failed to garner box office success and neither the lead actors’ fame nor the director’s screenwriting was able to recapture the original movie’s magic.
Furthermore, Allu Arjun and Sukumar are back with a bang – their blockbuster film Pushpa Part 1 and production is well underway for its follow-up, Pushpa Part 2. Next year when Arya celebrates its 19th anniversary, it is going to be quite special as Sukku and Bunny are coming with Pushpa 2 to enthral the audience.
