Responding to the special occasion, Allu Arjun took to his Twitter space to thank all his fans, followers, and well-wishers, who have made him come all this way.

He also thanked Raghavendra Rao and his father, Allu Aravind for introducing him to cinema and added that he would be grateful to them forever. The sensational actor, who recently tasted blockbuster success with Trivikram’s Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, will soon start shooting for his next, AA 20. This new project will be directed by Rangasthalam fame Sukumar and it will have a stellar star cast including Rashmika Mandanna, Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi, Jagapathi Babu, Prakash Raj, and others.
