In December 2021, the Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa: The Rise was released in India. It became a massive success at the box office. Released as a pan-Indian film, the movie became a national phenomenon with its dialogues, songs and Allu Arjun’s signature step from the song Srivalli trending for months. The movie later started streaming on Amazon Prime Video and met with a great reception there as well. But the movie did not just shatter box office records in India, but abroad as well.
