'I love Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, have watched it more than 20 times': Allu Arjun on his love for Bollywood films

Allu Arjun is hoping for the lockdown to end so that he can begin shooting for Pushpa.

Superstar Allu Arjun, in a recent interview, opened up about his love for Hindi films and the list comprised of Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Ranveer Singh’s movies.

In his interview, Allu Arjun said, "I love Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. It is one of my favourite films. I think I have watched it more than 20 times. DDLJ (Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge). I think I have watched it multiple times and it still has that magic whenever I watch it. Personally, I think I have watched Gully Boy 3-4 times, because I personally like a lot of rap and it is a very original Indian rap."

For the uninformed, Allu Arjun had decided to take a break after the box office debacle of Naa Peru Surya Naa Illu India. He did not sign new films for almost two years but made a strong comeback with Ala Vaikuntapuramlo. The film earned over Rs 200 crore at the box office.

Now he is hoping for the lockdown to end so that he can begin shooting for Pushpa. In a recent media interaction, he had also revealed that his next project with Sukumar will be one of the toughest projects of his career.

Talking about the Telugu film industry he further added, "Every industry has two strands - commercial and parallel. These streams are interdependent and draw from each other in terms of actors and technicians. In the last decade, parallel cinema in Telugu films has grown. The best example would be Mahanati (based on legendary actor Savithri). It’s not a typical commercial film. But it won three National awards. Baahubali, a commercial film, had great content. These two films are classic examples of the blend."
