Actor Allu Arjun and Pushpa: The Rise film director Sukumar worked together in the film Arya about 20 years ago and the pair has been successful since then. In 2021, they worked together in Pushpa: The Rise and now, they are together again for Pushpa 2: The Rule. Talking about his relationship with Sukumar during an event in Chennai, Allu Arjun said, ‘Sukumar was the one who gave the right direction to my career. After the first film Gangotri, I had no work for the next one year. After the release of the film, no one came to work with me. Then, a debut filmmaker (Sukumar) came to me and offered Arya. Since then I have never looked back.’ Pushpa: The Rule will release on December 5.
