Earlier, Allu Arjun reacted to Pushpa 2: The Rule's record-breaking success.
At the Thank You Press Meet in Delhi, the actor said, “It feels incredible to be sitting on top of a record-breaking hit, and I won't deny that numbers matter to me. Of course, they do, and I'll be in this trance for a couple of months because being part of a Rs 1000 crore film is no joke."
“The numbers are temporary but the love I hold very close to my heart. I always say that records are made to be broken, maybe for the next 2-3 months I will enjoy all these records but hopefully, by the summer I would want all these records to be broken by the next film.”
He added, “It doesn't have to be a Telugu film, it can be Tamil, Kannada, Hindi. It doesn't matter but I want these records to be broken because that is the progression. India is going up.”
