Allu Arjun says, 'My Father is my God'
Mumbai, June 21
Tollywood heartthrob Allu Arjun said that his father, filmmaker Allu Aravind, is his living God.
In an emotional Father's Day post on Sunday, he shared that for him, his dad is the God he can touch, hear, and speak to.
Dropping a video compilation of some precious moments with his father, AA wrote on his official Instagram handle, "My father is my God . He is the only God I can see, hear, speak to, touch & the one who has given me almost everything in life. Happy Father's Day to my dad and to every sweet dad in the world (sic)."
Allu Arjun himself is a father of two kids - son Allu Ayaan and daughter Allu Arha.
Coming to his professional lineup, Allu Arjun will be seen leading the eagerly-awaited "Raaka". AA has joined forces with renowned filmmaker Atlee for his next.
The project further marks Allu Arjun's primary on-screen collaboration with Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone.
The official announcement of the drama was made on AA's 44th birthday on April 8th. The makers shared that the drama, initially named "#AA22xA6" has been christened "Raaka".
Unveiling the first look of Allu Arjun from the upcoming movie, the makers wrote, "#AA22xA6 is now #Raaka Prepare yourself for a vision beyond limits @alluarjunonline @atlee47 @deepikapadukone."
The first look poster of AA from "Raaka" showed an intense close-up of a bald Allu Arjun's rugged face. Partially hidden by a wolf-like claw, we could only see an eye sharply focused, staring forward with a predatory gaze.
In addition to this, Allu Arjun will also be working with the celebrated filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj for another anticipated project, temporarily titled "AA23".
The drama is being backed under the prestigious banner of Mythri Movie Makers.
Furthermore, the 44-year-old actor will also be seen reprising his famous role as Pushpa Raj, a labourer-turned-red sandalwood smuggler in the third instalment of the 'Pushpa' franchise.

True Indian sentiment! In our culture, parents are like gods. But we shouldn't forget that only God is God. Respect to parents, yes, but let's keep perspective. Allu Arjun is a great actor though - excited for Raaka! 🔥
Reminds me of my own father! 🥺 Such a lovely post from Allu Arjun. And wow, Raaka with Deepika Padukone? That's going to be epic! Can't wait to see them together on screen.
Wonderful sentiment. But I think we should be careful not to equate any human with God, no matter how much we love them. Still, Allu Arjun's love for his father is genuine. His career is on fire right now - Pushpa 3, Raaka, and Lokesh Kanagaraj's film? 🔥🔥🔥
Heart melting! 🥹 Allu Arjun is not just a star on screen but a great son. His father Allu Aravind has given him so much. And now he's giving back with his love. That's the Indian way! And that Raaka first look - chills! What a vision! 👏
Such an emotional post! ❤️ But I think this "father is God" thing can be problematic in our society where sometimes it justifies toxic behavior. However, in Allu Arjun's case, it's pure love. And his career is insane - Raaka with Atlee and Deepika? He's really going global! 🌍
