Allu Arjun, who has been winning his fans' hearts with his performance as Pushpa Raj ever since the first instalment's massive success, was recently left in tears after being lauded by director Sukumar for his dedication and hard work at a pre-release event for Pushpa 2: The Rule in Hyderabad.

At the event, Pushpa 2's director and the actor praised each other and reflected on the bond they had created while shooting the film.

On Monday, Sukumar, who fondly calls Allu Arjun "Bunny," stated, “Pushpa 1 and Pushpa 2 happened because of the love I have for Bunny. Our bond is like an exchange of energy. For even the smallest expression, Bunny puts in incredible effort—whether it’s moving an eyelid or delivering perfect voice modulation. That level of commitment inspires any filmmaker."

Sukumar revealed how Allu Arjun's energy drove him to create Pushpa. He can be heard saying in the viral video, “I just narrated a couple of scenes. But Bunny’s energy drives me to create. Pushpa has set a new benchmark, and everyone involved had to rise to that level." Sukumar also apologized to Allu Arjun for taking three years of his career to make the film.

Addressing the fans' demand for Pushpa 3, Sukumar jokingly said, "I want to say something about Pushpa 3. I troubled your hero for Pushpa 2, and if he can give me another three years, I will make it.”

Following these overwhelming words, Allu Arjun was seen teary-eyed. The grand pre-release event also featured Rashmika Mandanna, Sreeleela, and director SS Rajamouli.
