Allu Arjun had announced his daughter's movie debut back in 2021 and he wrote: "A proud moment for the Allu family to announce that the fourth generation, Allu Arha, will be making her debut with Shaakuntalam movie. I want to thank Gunasekhar garu and Neelima garu for giving my daughter this beautiful movie as her debut. I had an altogether different journey with Samantha and am happy to watch Arha debut with her movie. My best wishes to the entire cast and crew of Shaakuntalam."
The actor had earlier posted a picture where he and daughter Arha shot for different films on the same location and he wrote: "Today my daughter Arha and I are shooting for different films at the same location. So, got to visit her set. I was expecting something like this to happen maybe after 15-20 years. But it happened so soon. Pushpa meets Bharata in Shaakuntalam. What a memorable coincidence."
Arha belongs to the fourth generation of Allu-Konidela clan of the southern film industry. Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Shaakuntalam marks Arha's acting debut.
