Allu Arjun made his debut with Gangotri, and after that, the actor was struggling to find work. It was only Sukumar who showed faith in him and gave him a chance. The actor shared, “I made my debut as a lead actor with Raghavendra Rao garu’s Gangotri. It was a superhit, but I didn’t deliver as an actor. No one came to work with me after the release of the film. Then, a debut filmmaker came up to me and offered Arya. There has been no looking back since then.”
