"Arya", in which <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/regional-indian-cinema-news/article/allu-arjun-becomes-first-south-indian-actor-to-reach-25-million-followers-on-instagram-23340973" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Arjun </a>played the role of the titular protagonist, a free-spirited guy who falls in love with a girl named Geetha, had marked the directorial debut of popular filmmaker Sukumar.
The actor and the filmmaker later collaborated for "Arya 2", the 2009 follow-up that also featured Kajal Aggarwal and Navdeep.
After the "Arya" films, Arjun and Sukumar reunited for the 2021 blockbuster movie "Pushpa 1: The Rise", which went on to become one of the biggest money-spinners of the year earning over Rs 350 crore.
The film depicted the rise of a low-wage labourer (played by Arjun) in the smuggling syndicate of red sandalwood, a rare wood that grows only in the Seshachalam Hills of Andhra Pradesh state.
The duo are currently awaiting "Pushpa 2: The Rule", which is currently slated for release on August 15.&nbsp;
