Allu Arjun Speaks About Pushpa's Success In Hindi Version

Mumbai, Dec 30, 2021: Telugu superstar Allu Arjun speaks on the surprise success of the Hindi version of his latest film, Pushpa, at the Box Office. He talks in length about why the audience has loved the film and what he has to offer more as an entertainer. ## Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Pushpa: The Rise Part I has made some surprising collections at the Box Office, especially with its Hindi version. After releasing on a Friday, the film raked in more on its first Monday which is an extremely unlikely trend even for the biggest of the Hindi films. The success of this Sukumar-directorial is writing itself and Allu Arjun is immensely happy about how his film has entertained the audience in the COVID times with some really unexpected numbers at the ticket window. ## In a chat with Pinkvilla, the Telugu superstar talked about the surprising success of Pushpa in the Hindi mass circuits. The actor credited the film's terrific Box Office to the 'Indian multi-genre format. He said he loves how most Indian films don't cater to a particular set of audiences but they are like a wholesome package with something to offer to every kind of audience. Allu Arjun was quoted as saying: ## I give credit to the Indian multi-genre format - the songs, the fights, the drama, the love story, the humour. An Indian film is a multi-genre film. You take any Western film and it would cater to a set of audiences. It would either be a horror-comedy or a thriller - but it's not a multi-genre film. It isn't musical. I think the heartland of India misses those kinds of films. I call such film 'Indian cinema format.' ## Stay tuned.
