Allu Arjun Does A 'Pushpa' Move In New York, Mayor Joins In

Telugu star Allu Arjun recently attended the 40th Annual India Day Parade in New York where he was invited as the Grand Marshall. During the event, the actor also met the Mayor of New York City and shared some glimpses on social media.

In pictures shared by him, Allu Arjun is seen receiving the "Certificate of Recognition" from Mayor Eric Adams as well as the two enacting the actor's iconic move from his 2021 movie Pushpa: The Rise. In one of the photos, the actor seems to be teaching the gesture to the mayor by stroking his beard.

The actor posted a picture of the certificate that read, "The City of New York Certificate of Recognition."

"It was a pleasure meeting the Mayor of New York City. Very sportive gentleman. Thank you for the honours Mr Eric Adams. Thaggede Le," Allu Arjun wrote on Twitter.
