Allu Arjun (born 8 April 1983) is an Indian movie actor. He mainly works in Telugu cinema.[3] He is known for dancing skills. He has won five Filmfare Awards South and three Nandi Awards.[4][5]

He made his debut in Gangotri (2003). Allu appeared in Arya (2004). It was directed by Sukumar. He won the Nandi Special Jury Award for his role.[6] In next years, he acted in movies like Bunny (2005), Happy (2006) and Desamuduru (2007).

Allu won his first Filmfare Awards South as Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu. He won the award for Parugu (2008).[7] His later movies, Arya 2 (2009), Vedam (2010), Varudu (2010) and Badrinath (2011), were a flop at the box office.[8][9] He acted as Gona Ganna Reddy in Rudhramadevi (2015). He won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor and Nandi Award for Best Character Actor for his role.[10][11]

He achieved success with movies like Race Gurram (2014), Sarrainodu (2016) and Duvvada Jagannadham (2017). Each movie earned more than ₹100 crore at the box office.[12] He worked with director Trivikram Srinivas three times. Allu worked with him in Julayi (2012), S/O Satyamurthy (2015) and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo (2020). All three are successful. The last movie earned more than ₹262 crore at the box office.[13][14]

The trailer launch of Pushpa 2[15] in Patna has bridged the North-South divide in Indian cinema. By choosing a non-South Indian city for the event, the film's team has highlighted the growing pan-India appeal of Telugu cinema, challenging regional boundaries and further unifying India's diverse film industries.
